Radewoosh's blog

Should I start writing regular blogs?
By Radewoosh, history, 6 years ago, In English

Hello codeforces! I want to share my idea with you.

I've noticed that I know some nice tricks and some tasks with very educative solutions, which might be interesting, surprising or useful in other tasks. Recently I am considering starting my own blog, where I'd share chosen tasks with you and write about possible ways to solve them. I wanted to ask the community about it, cause I don't want you to hate this idea and write comments like "boooo, we already have Petr's blog, you are just copying his idea, you just want contribution, you are next Swistakk, go away".

What do you think about this idea? I'd be able to change form of this blog as you wish and add additional sections. Should I write such blogs?

I can not even think of a reason for saying no to this idea of yours. :)

Please go ahead and do it. I just have one request.

Please do make sure that they appeal to people of Div 2 coders too and can be understood by them.

Please don't insult my friend Swistakk . He doesn't do it for contribution. He enjoys helping people.

And Yes, I will also love to read your blog. :)

Well according to me It would be great if you write the blog with the help of any problem and tell us a approach different than editorial(If you have different approach), and also like a generalised approach for particular kind of problem...fingers crossed(Bring it on).

Only ignorant people will hate this idea. There's no reason to say no to this.

True, we have Petr's blog, now we would get double the content :)

It's a good idea, however, I hope you'll not repeat this experience of stopping after the first post

It would be very helpful for me at least,if before writing any article, you clarify the prerequisites .

What are some examples of topics you're gonna cover? Who is target audience of your blog? What is intended expected difficulty of your entries?

    I hope that you also would learn some nice techniques, but as we are friends you probably already know many of my tricks. Main purpose is that for me it's bad that so rarely I have an opportunity to see some nice task or trick and say "Wow, it's so nice that now I know it, it'll be definitely helpful.", so I want to make such opportunities for everybody. I guess that I'll aim at div. 1 contestants, so I don't want to cover known techniques, but of course everybody will be able to read blogs and learn.

Lol. Nobody would say anything like this. The more blogs we have, and the more knowledge we produce the better !

I have always noticed your code is very elegant but sometimes don't understand things because the variables appear to be named in a different language.

I hope you start a blog soon. I look forward to reading it. I wish you much prosperity.

May God bless you.

    LMAO. Elegant? What a word to describe unreadable and unmaintainable code.

        Lol. Some of your comments are so hilarious. I cannot help but comment on it.

        LMAO. If you consider very short and unreadable code to be "elegant", you should be playing code golf and not CP.

        I agree that the OP is very smart but I cannot agree on the point of elegant code style.

Radewoosh it would definitely be very good. I would love to read your blog. Please start ASAP.

But please make sure, we mid level coders can also have something to learn from it.

        Lol. You don't have to. But that doesn't change the fact that you are a lowly ranked and unskilled coder here on CF.
