This is completely tangential but as someone who used to be a competitive programmer in the 2010s, I feel like this year marked the end of an era for me.

I don't have time to do regular codeforces/atcoder/leetcode rounds (and the rampant AI cheating is pretty demotivating). So the big annual rituals for me to keep my "competitive programmer" label were: fb hacker cup, google code jam, topcoder TCO, and advent of code. Now besides hacker cup, the rest are dead.

Sad. :(

I get what you're saying, but Advent of Code isn't dead? The leaderboard is dead, but if that's an important part of it to you, I'm optimistic there'll be some nice large public groups you can join somewhere.
