How to compete online programming competitions


It so happened to me this month that I broke the final barrier of not being a rated member of Codechef and Codeforces. 
It has been a bit of time since I registered at both the reputed online programming platforms. Though I have been practicing some problems, still it didn't occur to me to make it a point when it came to the contests on this two sites- The coveted Long and Short contest of Codechef and regular contest for Codeforces.
About how I did....Nothing so extra ordinary because all it needed was just one thought and determination that "I had to do it this time..at all cost". It paid off and now I am rated in both the platforms. Its a small step yet it is a big leap because it makes me motivated in all that I do now and  yes, I can say that I am more confident now than I was and this will help me in doing better.

 If there is anyone still not being a part of these things, I sincerely invite you to it. Not just that we can improve our skills but that it makes us motivated and learn a great deal which would otherwise take a lot more time and devotion. 

 I would like to tell that all we need are:
>> Firm and solid knowledge of a programming language.
>> If not, then not stopping to learn one of it.
>> Never say die spirit, this will keep us moving and reach us to our goal.
>> Being interactive and active in all participations.
>> Just give a try...come on...do it..and you can(Believe this!!)

                 To anyone with  passion of coding, it brings the joy of accomplishment and fire to burn for more as one goes on. Coding is not just about ending in a company. One who has the command over it knows it certainly well of what it is capable of and where it can take. One is never born without limitations or nor with all the trophies. Needless to say that hardwork pays.
 So happy coding!!!

The behind-the-scenes story of how we chose our tech stack, what went wrong, and why we changed course

The Tech Stack We Chose (And Why We Switched Midway) The Tech Stack We Chose (And Why We Switched Midway) By Rexman Published: 13/06/2025 – Behind the Scenes Series #2 🧠 The Master Plan Choosing a tech stack was easy. Or so we thought. We had a Notion page comparing Postgres vs Mongo, Firebase vs Supabase, React vs Vue vs SvelteKit. We were acting like we were choosing our life partner — when really, we just needed a stack that wouldn’t break in 3 weeks. We picked: Frontend: React Native with Expo Backend: Supabase (Postgres + Auth) Storage: Supabase Storage AI integration: Claude (Anthropic) Deployment: Vercel 💥 Reality Bites Week 1 was smooth. By Week 2, cracks appeared. Supabase’s Postgres was fine… until our expensive queries choked it. React Native was okay, but we hit prop-passing hell fast. Claude integration was awesome… until we realized we needed more dynamic prompt chaining a...
