The most important contest

-----------------------------------

As you take part in programming contests, keep in mind that the most important contest is with yourself: to constantly become better than you were before.

The worst programmer in the world would have a perfect formula for winning contests and use it again and again without change.

I agree, finding new ways to do old things is important and brings a sense of self satisfaction.

When I first programmed the Fibonacci sequence I created 3 different methods of doing so, which allowed me to choose the most efficient method to use.
