Good evening everyone!
TL;DR: I am in Luxor preparing for ICPC WF and making some photos, and also I was offered to (and I will) give an interview to Shayan, please send your questions.
As you may know, in December 2022 I qualified for ICPC WF 2023 from St Petersburg State University, which (together with ICPC WF 2022) takes place April 14-19, 2024 in Luxor.
I've been in Luxor for three days now. Our team still experiences a little jet lag, which means that I sleep not only at night, but also for about three hours during the day. I hope it goes away soon.
The community of programmers I interacted with five years ago is now scattered all over the world, but big onsite events like ICPC can bring us all together for a short while. So today I had the pleasure of meeting a bunch of wonderful people, but unfortunately I forgot to take photos with almost all of them. However, here are some photos.
If possible, I will definitely take a photo with Petr, tourist, never_giveup, LHiC, pashka, andrewzta, and everyone else who agrees. And, of course, we will try our best to perform well. The contest starts on Thursday, April 18, 2024 at 12:00UTC+2 and lasts 5 hours (https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?iso=20240418T1200&p1=4626&msg=ICPC%20WF%202022–2023&fromtheme=generic), please cheer for us on ICPC Live!
The last but not the least, recently Shayan contacted me and offered me to give him an interview on https://www.youtube.com/@InterviewWithCPLegends, and I accepted the offer. The interview will be recorded and uploaded in several days. For now, please write your proposed questions in the Discord channel or in the comments under this post!
UPD: More photos from 16 April!
