Thank u Jason, very cool !!
Seriously though, good for you I guess? Not sure why you're grandstanding about it.
Meanwhile, I'm doing it the way I have in years past: as a fun set of puzzles that let me write code I enjoy in a language I like, because I do actually enjoy writing code, and only until my real-life schedule no longer allows.
Nobody's saving the world by posting on their personal blogs about how they're bravely and boldly not doing a series of optional advent-calendar puzzles.
I mean, is "other people are having fun" really something that demands a resistance?
Or could you, perhaps, just not do it and not care whether that makes you "cool" or not?
It's like that bit from Community: "wear it because of them, don't wear it because of them — either way, it's for them."
Just be you, without having to have some sort of faux "resistance" to justify yourself.
