Is thinking about ratings wrong?

Rewards are only of two types:- 1)Ratings+2)Ranks. I agree it can be big/small… but it always be these two rewards only…and nothing else…

I think these are secondary rewards . Apart from these it increases your logical thinking , working under-pressure , optimizing solution and many more. Life is full of odds ,in one way it helps you not to just get prepare but also beat the odds.
I will consider primary rewards as making me able to handle a difficult situation.
Also primary and secondary rewards may vary from person to person.

Yes, I fully agree with it. There are internal rewards as well.

I have a question about how difficult it is to reach 7 stars in codechef, because the famous players @anon55659401 gave did not reach 7 stars.

Being a top contributor ! = being a good coder.

I am a newbie in cp and do it only in free time. So please don’t expect much from me :sweat_smile:

The list I gave…a few of them have been 7-star in the past. Its hard to be a 7-star and super-hard to be 7-star consistently in my opinion :slight_smile:

If he tries only long challenges he can easily reach there. Although Sooner or later he will reach 7* not today but tomorrow surely.

Look at the number of participants having rating >=2000 in Codechef short contests as compared to Codechef Long. You will understand what he meant.

That’s true.
But I feel thinking too much about your rating can put unnecessary pressure on you especially in short contests. This happens with me quite often when I am close to a rating milestone. So I think atleast during contests, one should forget about the rating change they would be getting and concentrate on just solving the problems.
