    Issue tracker for Codewars

  • Try to find some way to enjoy it. You can try gamification, such as trying to find as many solutions as possible or find one which gets in the top 10% of fastest solutions. You can try competition, such as Codewars or literal programming competitions. Another idea is to try problems that are more grounded in reality, like Project Euler which are interesting math problems.

  • vite-leet-pad-ts

  • One issue I had was being uncomfortable in their code editor (and every other online code editor) so I made a small project where I could write and run the individual challenges. It made logging a lot easier and shortened the feed back loop, which really helped me. https://github.com/caranicas/vite-leet-pad-ts
