- I finished my undergraduate degree.
- I moved to another country.
- I got my master's degree.
- I interned as a researcher.
- I will be moving to yet another country.
- I will be starting a job as a researcher.
- I lost and made many friends.
- Finally, I've gotten quite worse at codeforces.
For all those who qualified years ago (I did in 2021!), I'm sure your life looks nothing like it did when you made it.
This will probably not be a contest of students; it might as well be a conference for software developers and grad school researchers.
I personally can't make it, due to timing and place, and I'm sure many as well are disappointed with how things have been. But for those who do it will be a very interesting reunion.
Please share your stories of how much has changed in these years!
I even know a contestant who is now a postdoc. maybe we can even find a (assistant) professor?
Absolute legend! Your dedication and achievements are genuinely impressive. Nothing but huge respect man :)
