Road to LGM Continues: Red Redemption 2
By SecondThread, history, 3 years ago, In English

Good morning!

I just published a video about my performance (+173) on Global Round 20 and the past Div 1 Round. It's heavily edited, only includes highlights, and is definitely more entertaining than the usual screencasts, so I thought I'd post about it here. Go check it out.

Here's the thumbnail!

    When I was preparing for ICPC finals, I'd wake up 6:30 most days of the week, do some virtual contest 7-9 AM and then go to work on my full-time job. It's possible to improve, but needs a bit of dedication :)

    I also wonder what is SecondThread opinion.

      Is it even allowed to have a full time job as a student?

        Because ICPC finals 2020 in Moscow were delayed by 1,5 years, I have already graduated and the finals were a couple of months after I started working full-time.

      Nice, I kind of did stuff like that while I was coaching but it becomes kind of meaningless as you start working more. Maybe it's because you were preparing for world finals so that was a good motive.

    I am also very interested in SecondThread's experience on having a full time job and making improvement with cp.

    For me it is all about enjoying solving problems at my current level, and expecting that I won't improve as fast as people who commit more time to cp.

    My rating is low so it'd be nice if we can hear the opinions of high ranked coders.

Can I ask what extension do you use? I mean I know cf predictor but the fact that it tells you what rank you would be with that performace (I think it tells that) it's very cool

Great video, I love the heavily edited showcase of your performance along with the extra commentary! I hope to see more like it in the future :).

Dear parents, if your child is laughing while on codeforces, they are not enjoying coding, they are reading this masterpiece.
