A few months ago (yes, I'm very slow at editing these), I got the chance to talk to [user:TheScrasse,2025-10-06] 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.
