    If you're doing #AdventOfCode and learning stuff, but your code's a mess, you got the wrong answer, you're a few days behind, it took you several hours, you're in a language you're not familiar with... All I hear is that you're learning stuff. You're doing great!! 🌟❤️🎄🧑‍🎄

    As an AWS user, I often want to know the cheapest options for compute resources given some project-specific criteria. So, I made a tool to show me that data in a way that is useful to me. Maybe it will be useful to you, too: compute-cost.com

    This was my tenth(!) year building 25 days of puzzles for #AdventOfCode. You can solve them all for free and in whatever programming language you like. I hope they help people become better programmers. 🌟 The first puzzle comes out in two hours: adventofcode.com

    The next time an interviewer asks you to solve FizzBuzz, impress them by doing it without a programming language.
