A few months ago (yes, I'm very slow at editing these), I got the chance to talk to TheScrasse at the Midnight Code Cup. We talk about how he started coordinating on Codeforces, how he creates new problems and his overall competitive programming journey.

We also talk about one of my favorite topics — coding duels. He was one of the pioneers in this area, having done a few great livestreamed duels in the past few years. Watch to see his opinions on coding duels.

PS. A few of you came up to me on World Finals to let me know you watch the interviews — thanks a lot! Creating these takes a lot of effort (also, equipment is really hard to carry on trips :) ), so it means a lot to meet the people that enjoy these.
