The Results Are In!

Oh what a wild ride the last few weeks have been. This challenge, which I had expected to be interesting to a dozen folks or so at best, has gone kinda viral, with hundreds of people competing and engaging. It’s really incredible how far people have pushed the limits here. Pull request by pull request, the execution times for solving the problem at hand improved by two orders of magnitudes in comparison to the initial baseline implementation.

Today I am happy to share the final results, as the challenge closed for new entries after exactly one month on Jan 31 and all submissions have been reviewed. Please find the full announcement in this blog post. Congrats to all the winners, and a big thank you to everyone participating in this challenge as well as to everyone helping to organize it!

Upwards and onwards,
