Dude I'm heavily inspired by Errichto as a creator, he just gets to the point, he's like a live-action version of a beautifully written documentation.

His humbleness is ON ANOTHER LEVEL..I salute you bro ....

[uzdik.student]

Thank you, Errichto, your videos helped me to pass the interview :)

Super! Leaving Ubuntu aside, your Geany setup, and the instructions to set it up for general day to day use editor (and IDE) is simply fantastic! Lovely! Thank you for sharing! :)

[itdepends]

Your talking style is full of humbleness! Great guy

[fhd]

Clear straightforward tutorial. I'm no competitive programmer but you've got a subscriber. Thanks!

Do following if you also don't like that geany stops scrolling after the last line:
edit -> preferences -> editor -> display uncheck stop scrolling at last line

Thanks Errichto for the video! A future video about setup configuration for Windows will be great. I find that a bit more complex.

[yashashav_dk]

You are an amazing person. Thank you, for the wealth of information.

I really appreciate this video, it inspires to share the competitive programming

[matrixxART]

Wow, I like those compiler flags. I've never seen -O2 before. Thanks for the upload!

[VinayKumar-vuen]

Excatly what I was trying to do for hours!! Thank you.
Ps: I'm new to Geany, Vs code is pretty much pre configured so I had to do very less work to set up environment there.

Thank you So much Errichto ! You are so humble and really motivate me for CP even though I initially suck at it. But I like to work more and get better just because of your support.

No matter how much you know, you will always learn something new from every video of errichto

[harishchandramouleeswaran]

You've got to be the nicest guy I've seen. Thank you so much for all your videos. I'm very sure I'm going to benefit greatly from all of them! :)

[plabonkumersarker]

You voice is so cool to listen. Thank you so much for your information ♥

[Moonify]

Nice to see you fixed the glitches, I was to tell you that one possible solution to that is going to Nvidia X server settings > OpenGL > Disable Allow Flipping.

Question not related to the topic of the video:

@errichto, how did your process of learning look like when you were becoming good at competetive programming? For example, were you just taking tasks one by one and solving them? Were you reading analysis/solutions of the tasks by someone else? Were you learning that from other people? I know that you have also read Cormen's book about algorithms. Basically, what is the most effective way to become good at competetive programming?

I'd be happy if you answered that in one of your vidoes or here - in the comment section. Currently my way of learning is simply: 1. Take a task, 2, think about how to solve it, 3. read analysis of the task (regardless of if you have come up with the solution or not). And obviously sometimes I also implement the solutions. I have also read two books about data structures and algorithms (not Cormen, but similar), so I know the most important algorithms and data structures. I'm wondering if the way I'm learning competetive programming (simply solving tasks and reading analysis) is the optimal way or is there any better?

Very convifient settings Kamil, thx for sharing your tricks for Ubuntu. : )

[imborderb]

I have been using your geany flex for some time now and it has been very helpful. Thank you Kamil.
