One of the things that has often confused me is how little good advice there is for reading large files efficiently when writing code. Typically most people use whatever the canonical file read suggestion for their language is, until they need to read large files and it’s too slow. Then they google “efficiently reading large files in <lang>” and are pointed to a buffered reader of some sort, and that’s that.

Much like other events in 2020, our annual internal hackathon took a remote format this year, sporting over 120 hackers from across the globe. We had many challenges available during the conference which included a password cracking challenge, a discord bot challenge and a programming challenge. This post will talk about the programming challenge called sconwar. You can get the source code for it here. incubation Admittedly I was really nervous about the idea for a hacker hackathon in general, but we can only become better hackers by understanding technologies better, more specifically, understanding them by using them. I often hear people say they want to get into programming, for which there are many options, but more often that not the drive ends with “well, what do I code?”.
