Issues & discussions

You can open an issue or discussion for virtually anything you want:

Please do not submit pull requests for:

Changes to original solutions: I only keep those as a snapshot of the first solution I wrote when solving the puzzles. They are not really supposed to be changed, and definitely not supposed to be clean, optimal or even correct. I only update those if I update some of the used utiliy functions just to keep them at least runnable.
Changes to clean solutions and walkthrougs: the choices I make for clean solutions are mostly documented in my walkthroughs. If you think that something is off, or that some improvement is possible, you are most welcome to open an issue or start a discussion to tell me about it. I prefer this because (1) it's less work for you, (2) I need to understand and adapt the suggestion before even thinking of applying it, (3) I will also have to adapt the walkthrough at the same time, and finally (4) I might change mind about the license that I am using for my work in the future.
Grammatical errors, typos, phrasing mistakes in walkthrougs: please, open an issue instead. I update the repository walkthrougs constantly, and keep track of things that need to get fixed in a private list. Therefore, there is a high chance that I already spotted the problem by myself, and since I try to keep "fix typo" commits to a minimum, I am just waiting to do a single commit with a batch of fixes.

Feel free to open pull requests for:

Adding new solutions derived from mine: different approaches, alternative solutions using interesting external libraries, etc. If you do, put those under an appropriate folder: YEAR/misc/dayXX/ and use meaningful file names.
Editing/fixing/improving anything under the YEAR/misc/ folders that is not a solution: scripts for visualizations, the script used to fetch leaderboards, etc.
Editing/fixing/improving anything outside the different year's folders: utilities, documentation (including this document), and so on.
