Just a small post today, remarking on how it is amazing the lengths one can go in the period of a year or so, just from practice.

I was recently looking through old coding projects from a course, hoping to fix/complete and ones that had not been working. Sure enough, looking at an issue I had in one of them, I realized the problem I was having was the essentially the same as a programming problem I had solved for a coding contest over the summer! And thus, it was an easy fix to get the project in 100% working order. Just goes to show that practicing even little/not overly difficult problems can help keep your skills sharp, and develop new ones. It was good to look through some larger code bases, too, as being able to navigate lots of code is also a skill that can always use more practice.
