After sitting down with Pajaraja (blog) and Radewoosh (blog), I got the chance to go to Japan (more videos about this to come!) and talk to some very cool people there.

The first interview is with the Yoneda brothers, square1001 and E869120, known for their extensive contribution to the competitive programming world — setting 4 IOI tasks (and many other contests), writing many guides on preparation. Of course, they are incredible programmers as well — together, they have an ICPC World Finals medal and separately, 3 IOI Gold medals and the ICPC Challenge Championship trophy. Interestingly, Masataka also wrote three books about math and programming, which we discuss in the interview.

We talk about their origin story, competing together and against each other, brotherly rivalry and everything in between. There'll be much more content soon (some podcasts and some totally new), if you'd like to see it subscribe :)

I hope you'll enjoy it!
