I am writing this blog to expose the cheating activity of the Codeforces account Secondary_user.
Cheating has no place in competitive programming. It undermines fair competition, disrespects the effort of honest participants, and damages the integrity of contests.
I strongly believe that this account's activity should be investigated by the Codeforces administration and appropriate action should be taken.
Codeforces should remain a platform where people compete with their own skills, not through dishonest methods.
Keep Competitive Programming Fair.
Hey fellow coders,
I made a Chrome extension called CF Themer.
Install: https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/fogjbemaajokjgplblhlibebfjpbdjfd
Why I made it: I spend a lot of time on Codeforces, and three things kept bothering me:
1) The white site is hard on the eyes during late-night practice. 2) I wanted a timer and a place for notes on each problem without leaving the page. 3) Building a good practice set by hand takes ages, and the problemset filters don't give you a contest.
What's in it: - Themes: Monokai, Dracula, Pure Black and Lock-In. Switch with the popup, the ◐ button, or Alt+Shift+T. - Focus mode (Alt+Shift+F): shows only the problem statement. - Timer and notes: one per problem, saved in your browser. - Spoiler-free mode: hide tags, difficulty and solved counts. - Mashup contests: pick tags, rating range, number of problems and length. It builds a contest, runs a countdown across Codeforces, hides tags and ratings until it ends, then scores you with ICPC penalty. - Share codes: every mashup gets a short code, so a friend can get the exact same problems.
Privacy: No servers, accounts, analytics or ads, and I never receive your data. Everything stays in your browser. The only network requests go to the public Codeforces API, and the mashup builder asks for your agreement before it reads your handle or submissions.
Works on Chrome, Edge and Brave (version 111+).
Feedback: If a page looks wrong in your theme, tell me which page, and the element's class name if you can. I'd also like to hear which themes you'd want and what would make custom contests better for you. A rating on the store page helps others find it.
Good luck in your next contest!

Всем привет.
Хочу поделиться большой радостью моей семьи. В ночь с 8-го на 9-е ноября на свет появился маленький человечек по имени Танечка Мирзаянова. Конечно, теперь очевидны причины переноса раунда :)
Пока Танечке менее суток от рождения, но она уже успела подарить незабываемые радостные впечатления ее родителям — мне и моей супруге Кате aka LLLike. А сколько еще впереди!
Через несколько лет Таня Мирзаянова прочтет этот пост, а я ей скажу: "Смотри Танечка, сколько хороших и умных людей из разных уголков Земли поздравили тебя!".
Счастливый и довольный,
MikeMirzayanov
UPD: Всем огромное спасибо за поздравления! Я даже не ожидал прочесть столько теплых и приятных комментариев. А количество плюсов доказывает вечную истину: "дети - цветы жизни!". Спасибо!
Hello! I would like to report the user Azimjonm0012 for cheating. He is currently at the top of the leaderboard, having "solved" 7,781 problems; however, if you examine his code submissions, you will see that the coding style varies significantly—he is clearly taking code from other users or from AI and submitting it as his own.

If you support me in this, perhaps he can be banned for cheating.
