I think too many people on codeforces like programming. But it's bad, espessially sport programming. Why? There is too many arguments. 1) One of many is problem 4A — "Watermelon". This problem is one of the worst, that I saw. This problem is too easy to be 800, I think that problem is like 500-600 points, but I cant't solve that!
2) Main reason-cheating! You have many ways to cheat. Neural networks and friends can solve problems instead of you and send them to yourself. It's very bad. For example, at math competitions you can't ask help, you can hope only to yourself. And I can't write rounds too good, because everyone cheats and interfere with honest people.
3)Not the main one but no less important-sorry, i forgot that, because my computer doesnt save my notes, not like paper. If ше wasn't computer, i wrote that there
4) Syntax! ;, tab, gaps — that is too hard. And english. why not russian? I dont understand. These arguments show that programming is very bad:()
