My answers for Advent of Code 2016.1
Language of choice: Python 3
I actually started Advent of Code in 2017 using Java. I decided to do the previous 2 years (2015, 2016) in Python to practice a bit and because it is the go-to language used by most of the competitive programmers that I follow. Don't get me wrong here, I'm super slow, but it does not prevent me from enjoying these incredibly fast programmers and watch them solve things. I'm here for the fun of it, not to win any contest. 😄

Ned Batchelder did an amazing job on his aoc2016 repo. I took a lot of "inspiration" from there. 😄
I also learned stuff from several other developers with much less extent. You can find some amazing people through this event.

Disclaimer: I do AoC for fun and to learn new languages and new tricks. Part of my learning process (also for fun, even if I already have experience with some language), is to check what other users do and learn things from them. I can't help but incorporate their cool, clean, concise ideas into my code. Sometimes their code is so much better than mine that I end up replacing my whole code! So I do come up with answers on my own, but I can't claim being the author of anything here - I'm not tracking what is mine and what I replaced. 🤷🏽 ↩
