    Considering that you started 1 year ago, your rating is pretty impressive imo. What type of problems did you solve? what kind of routine did you implement to get there?

      Thanks for your compliment. =)))

      I often solve the problems related to greedy, math, sortings, two-pointer, brute-forces, binary search and sometimes simple problems about DSU and graph.

      So here is what i did. Everyday, I try to solve at least 3 problems everyday. I usually choose problems that has tutorial and available codes. I just solve problems and sometimes learn the new type of problems. In my opinion, spending too much time on finding new knowledge will slow me down. Therefore, I just read for new knowledge if the tutorial told me to do so or I was really curious in that. The majority of the time I spend on solving problems with suitable difficulty to me (just around 800~1200 because I still a noob tho :>>).

      Some materials maybe useful to you: Lists of problem sorted by its difficulty: https://vjudge.net/article/2842 Videos of algorithms and data structures (A&DS of pashka): https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLrS21S1jm43igE57Ye_edwds_iL7ZOAG4

  1. I began "programming" in Scratch when I was 11 or so. I began real programming (Python, Java) when I was about 13.
  2. I began competitive programming when I was 15.

Now I am 18.

I started scratch (if this counts as programming) maybe like 5/4 years ago
For competitive programming (which is the first actual programming), I started in mid 2020, but I stopped for like almost a year in 2021, and I came back in late 2021

    I'd say scratch totally counts as programming language. All the important basic concepts are in there, it is just another (visually more structured and easier to use without previous knowledge) language.

    And I totally recommend scratch or similar concepts to people who want to learn about programming but are intimidated at first. Heck, I did learn programming with the RPGMaker2000 at 13, which is also a click-your-code language.

    In the same manner I would say, that simple English is totally a language. No need to gatekeep here.

Started programming with Scratch when I was 10 (2018), get second place in the national contest for elementary school students and don't bother learning programming anymore. But 2 months ago, in my 15th birthday, I came back and started competitive programming.

The feeling when you started programming at the time when a lot of people in the thread weren't even born and you're blue

I guess I had learned scratch before but I don't really count that because I didn't really do anything much with it.

1) First interaction with programming was when I was about 11 — using MapleStory hacks (blindly copying some assembly and injecting it via CheatEngine), playing with packet capturing hacks for MapleStory and having my father write me a pin cracker in AutoIt3 so I could steal people's accounts (I was a mean kid)

2) Competitive programming at 13
