That's like going out for a run and taking an electrical scooter around the park instead. The point isn't finishing, the point is doing the activity.
Then why have a leaderboard?
9 seconds to get both stars is absolutely insane - there had to be some AI assistance here. Come to think of it, a pipeline that feeds the problem text into an LLM to generate a solution and automatically runs it on the input and attempts to submit the solution, doing this N times in parallel, could certainly solve the first few days' problem in 9 seconds.
Caring about the leaderboards is the problem. Are you (impersonal) seriously doing AoC for clout or something?

At this point, it just shows that Advent of Code is completely worthless given the ease and accessibility of AI-assisted tools to solve these problems. RIP Advent of Code.

Nice to see that traditions are upheld, such as the unreadable font and colors.
