My naive part 2 that extended part 1 across multiple lines was projected to take 10 days! Proud of my solution, which takes 4030s

I think we have basically the same approaches, using our respective language idiomatic mechanics. Similar solve times as well. And it feels like you're becoming the numpy expert at this point! Nice solve!

This code, it is not the prettiest. But it works, and it's zippy, and I made it on my own. https://github.com/doleraj/adventofcode/blob/main/aoc2022/src/day15/index.ts

Lovely! Loving the use of classes and interfaces here to keep context. With all of the moving parts of this problem, TS seems like a much better experience than JS. I want compiler assistance.

I am suuuuper proud of this one. Calmly thought through my solves, solutions mostly worked on the first try as well. Anticipated the explosion on part2 so didn't write a line of code until I felt like I had something efficient.

Actual amount of code is very minimal. I am pleased.
