  • leetcode-excel

    Solutions to leetcode problems, written in the Microsoft Excel programming language (TM)

  • A while ago I was bored and asked myself if I can actually solve leetcode problems with excel as a joke, and hence leetcode-excel was born. XLSX and everything.

    I got bored after a while and didn't try to solve more problems.

    Here is a fun thought: Excel has potentials in teaching non-programmers to think about algorithms. Translating a problem or a function from Excel to a programming language has the potential to break the ice for people who just "can't write a program."

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.
