So from stackoverflow, people switched to quora to ask questions from Codechef long contests!

Hello,
Well, sadly, this is something we can’t avoid at all… I only honestly and really feel bad for the person who is asking the question, as he/she will lose anything that could have been earned on such question…
Again, is it worth cheating for a green tick, when 50 or 100 red crosses can provide you with knowledge for life?
I don’t think so and I know that some of my friends here and all top coders here also think alike me…
THERE ARE NO SHORTCUTS, and it is clear and obvious that learning things at your own pace, learning from mistakes, reading editorials, is something that also requires a big effort from you… It is only up to you if you want to really grow as a coder and as a person or if instead you want to feel a very partial and bitter joy from seeing a green tick with no effort…
Best regards,
Bruno
