okay so I had this idea↵
↵
imagine you get 100 coins and you have to build the best competitive programmer possible by buying different skills↵
↵
every skill has a price and you can't spend more than 100 coins↵
↵
here's the shop:↵
↵
Mathematical intuition — 25,↵
Algorithm knowledge — 25,↵
Implementation speed — 15,↵
Debugging — 15,↵
Creative problem solving — 25,↵
Pattern recognition — 20,↵
Proofs and correctness — 15,↵
Contest pressure management — 15,↵
Consistency — 20,↵
Optimization — 15,↵
Reading statements carefully — 10,↵
Learning from editorials — 15,↵
Time management — 10,↵
Finding counterexamples — 15,↵
↵
you can buy whatever combination you want, as long as you stay within 100 coins.↵
↵
now the interesting part is that you obviously can't buy everything.↵
↵
would you spend most of your coins on algorithms and maths? or would you invest in things like debugging, consistency and not panicking during contests?↵
↵
also, don't just drop your build. explain why you picked those skills. feel free to argue with someone else's choices too.↵
↵
I'm curious what kind of builds people at different ratings come up with.↵
↵
100 coins. what's your build?
