My Ultimate Competitive Programming Setup 💻 | Tips & Gear Explained

Hi! My name is Egor. In this video i talk about my competitive programming setup. I use macbook air M1 late 2020, blue yeti microphone, one by wacom tablet, sketchbook by autodesk, cf predictor, codeforces enhancer, vim via macvim, vim-plug, ultisnips, iterm2 and oh my zsh. You can find more details in this video and down in the description. I hope you find this video helpful. On this channel I make educational videos on competitive programming. Both on basic algorithms such as prefix sums, binary search, sorting, etc., and also some advanced topics such as disjoint sparse table, heavy-light decomposition, link-cut tree, lambda optimisation, FFT, and so on. Also sometimes I record screencasts and do some kind of unusual videos like this one. If you're interested, consider subscribing to my channel! If you have any questions you can contact me on telegram. Good luck with your contests.
