Yeah, I was doing a CS minor in college but had to drop as it was consuming too much of my time from my other discipline in the non-intro courses. Big(O)/time complexity were my usual failings in the intro algorithms course I took.
I'm not unfamiliar with programming, but I come from the sysadmin side of things. "Glue" work is usually where things are focused and the 'fun' nitty-gritty of algorithms can be a bit out-of-scope, though I'm not a sysadmin in my current role anymore so any dev-related work I do is purely personal now.
I've had to take a break from AoC, only got up through Day 10, but didn't get P2 for 8 and 9. It's a fun way to keep the mind going and to slip back into the coding space to at least not lose skills, even if the solutions are simple/non-optimal.
