    That’s sounds exhausting. Maybe I am showing my age, but after 15 years as a software developer (now DevOps engineer) I feel absolutely no desire to spend my free time competing against others. Maybe I would’ve felt different about this back in the days.

    That being said, this meme still applies to regular software developers. I know plenty of people who match each of the shown stereotypes.

      Advent of Code is fun even without seriously competing (which, at least globally or in bigger communities is basically impossible unless you’re actually a proper competitive programmer). There’s no stakes and you can just do the challenges you feel like doing :)
