🌱 3hrs of practice is < 2% of your week that can make the 98% better.
Without taking a lot of time away from your studies, working on sharpening your problem-solving skills through computer programming and working on pico-projects, consistently, will bear fruit far outweighing the time investment.
It's not what we do once in a while that shapes our lives, but what we do consistently. — Tony Robbins

🏆 Is this a competition?
Of course NOT. WeeklyCoder is to serve as a place where programming challenges are posted for no other reason than the sake of practice.
It wouldn't be one way either. It is to be a place where members share their own creations outside of those posted here as well.
It may feel like there's a prize waiting at the end, but the prize is the path and who'd benefit is YOU.
The journey is what matters and who you'd become as a result is the point of it all.
