Join Advent of Code with Axis

Seasonal greetings, coders! The holiday season is coming up, and what better way to celebrate than with a festive coding challenge? Sign up for Advent of Code with Axis Leaderboard, a yearly advent calendar of small programming puzzles. Use your skills to solve challenges, using any coding language you choose. 

Innovation through learning

At Axis, Advent of Code is about more than just solving puzzles. It is about fostering curiosity, building resilience, and embracing experimentation and creative problem-solving. By learning together, sharing knowledge, and challenging each other, we strengthen our developer community and build skills that drive innovation. Every year, we are inspired by your enthusiasm and participation, and we look forward to seeing everyone back on the leaderboard this year.

About the competition

Signing up to the Advent of Code leaderboard with Axis is a great way to practice problems, share experiences, and learn from each other. Every problem has a solution that completes in at most 15 seconds on ten-year-old hardware. The puzzles will become available every morning at 06:00 Swedish time (UTC+01:00) 

On January 28th we will host our Gold Star Event where we celebrate our performances. The event will be held simultaneously at our offices in Lund and Linköping. Prizes will be raffled off at the Gold Star Event, where each star collected amounts to one ticket. On top of that, there is also our Axis Gold Challenge. Everyone who manages to collect all gold stars will get a bonus Advent of Code t-shirt!
