Lost 140 days streak because of server maintenance :'(
By brownfox2k6, 20 months ago, In English

I have no intention to blame Codeforces admins for fixing the server that long because I believe they've tried their best anyway.

I'm in Vietnam, my time zone is UTC+7, that means Codeforces server maintained from 6:30 AM yesterday to today (now is 12:30 AM in my time zone).

So sad... :'(

P/s: Sorry for my weak English.

Time to focus on improving instead of streaks!

    Thank you. Now I will try my best to improve my logic thinking and programming skill. I won't focus on quantity but quality :)

    no. I was tried to keep solving at least 3 problems everyday, I have no intention to match my solve count with my rating :')

Bro I admire your dedication, but just checked that 1000 of 1200 problems you solved are under 1100 rating. If you are solving for improving I don't think it's a good strategy. Wish you best of luck.

    thank you. Now I won't mind about solve count anymore. Instead, I will find harder problems to solve.

MikeMirzayanov Please consider making it an exception for today and letting the streaks running for such people

Sorry for you man. I also almost lost my 311 days streak, luckily my timeline is UTC+6. Regardless, the way you are maintaining streak is not helpful. You have around 650 800R solves. Which is over double the number of 800 solves I have done in my entire CP career. You should try to maintain a streak with high number of high rating problems.

Anyways, you can try again. I lost my streak twice, around 40+ days and 50+ days

    my last submission is 23:45 :) then I turned of my computer and went to sleep. Waked up and the world like falled down.

    If I submitted 15 minutes later, then my streak would have been keeped:) But now I dont mind it anymore, trying to improve my skill by doing harder problems than increasing solve count

I feel extremely sad because of the hole in my dark green. Image

It's a fact that dark green is not strongly related to the skills. However, as for me, a cp newbie who enjoy solving problems in Codeforces everyday, I feel that my enthusiasm is facing a strike.

Streaks may not be be a symbol of skills, but it's a reflection of someone's enjoyment and persistence.

Anyway, I'll continue practicing everyday regardless of the hole in my streaks.

Stop spamming 800 rated problems just to maintain streaks. Streaks are good but if you take good use of them, doing 2+2 everyday for 100 days ain't gonna teach anything

Like -is-this-fft- said: Stop obsessing over the number of hours spent or problems solved. These numbers don't mean shit because the variance is so high and it is very easy to spend a lot of time and solve a lot of problems without learning anything.

Those who are worrying about streak it is not snapchat. If problem solving is our main goal you could have easily achieved it by solving problem on other platform like atcoder, codechef, leetcode etc. Problem Solving >>> Stupid Streaks. (Just my opinion you can always disagree though.)
