Ok, I know it took so much time, but it worth it!
Um_nik, in one word, is a legend. After this interview I found a lot more about him.
Like what? He didn't do IOI and IMO in high school, instead he advanced to IPhO! (International Physiscs Olympiad) He is the champion of ICPC in 2020. Once, he was at the first place of CF for a few weeks (in 2018).
If you are surprised, don't be yet. The real surprise is when he says he doesn't believe in talent!
I will discuss many things with him. It took more than an hour (I wanted to keep it short, but I really couldn't, it was so good that I couldn't remove any part)
He talks about his advices to competitive programmers, his own journey, what happened after he posted the solutions of a div 3 round (during the contest lol), what he did on the 4th Dec 2016 (double lol), his opinion about many different things, and definitely I asked him your questions!
I invite you all to watch this interview on Friday April 5, 17:00 GMT. You can watch later as well, but let's watch it together and chat.
Here are the trailers:

PS1: I separated the educational channel and the interviews channel.
PS2: Let me know which trailer you liked the best. It helps for making the trailers of the next interviews.
PS3: Tell me who you want me to interview next!
can we have one with YocyCraft please
Bro is him !!
It is very clear that he suffers from some form of survivorship bias. Those who don't have low to mid IQ can never truly understand why some people just can't become red.
agree, it's so obvious that each person's abilities are limited, otherwise we would see a ton of athletes of exactly the same level in every sport
Yes, I wonder how he will feel if Ronnie Coleman or Eddie Hall told him everyone can become as good of a bodybuilder or powerlifter as them and all they need to do is work harder, smarter etc.
No, I can understand. It's because you are lazy. You're welcome.
True, I've NEVER seen single redcoder who doesn't belong as follow
to be honest I believe CM is highest achievable rating in cf with mean IQ with regular background.
For real broski. There is only so much average IQers can do.
I literally don't belong to any of those so congratz on seeing the first exception
u are +4 sigma iq
If you don't mind me asking, which IQ test did you take and what did you score? I'd honestly be surprised if it were lower than 130 but I'm ready to be proven wrong.
IQ Tests are trainable...... Also look at his problem solve count and compare that to yours.
Just because IQ tests are trainable doesn't make them invalid for those taking them for the first time. There are many relatively non-trainable IQ tests though, and usually, the better the test, the less trainable it is.
I believe that the majority of slightly above average people can reach red. It's not just hard work that matters, there are people who solved 2000 problems and are still specialist. Your approach to practice and training plan is also very important.
PS3: Tell me who you want me to interview next!My vote is for rainboy
+1
+1
btw your trailers should all be like #3 except make it longer and have more shots of the interviewee's face pls
I'm not a baby
watching anime doesn't works
Hi, in my opinion, the second trailer is the best
I want to your interview with cnnfls_csy, due to how at a young age he is one the best competitive programmers in codeforces(and also in the world)
Why not orzdevinwang?
Is the interview on April 5 or 7? You wrote April 5 in your blog and Trailer-1. But trailers 2-3 says it is on April 7.
Oh, mistake!! Sorry for that. It is Friday April 5.
He pulled an april fools' joke on us
Just keep the background sound a bit lower brother and trailer 3 seems unnecessary ,just my thoughts :p
There is a lot of background noise. I did not hear a single word.
Can I have interview
Trailer 3???
Trailer 3 would be cringe-worthy for most UFC fighters, let alone a competitive programmer.
Cringe and childish. Don't have to make flopped movies out of interviews, life isn't that animated, grow up.
An interview with Benq will be great! :)
Please have an interview with KMAASZRAA
I may not be able to sleep in night because of trailer 3. scary af
Interview with jiangly
orz
Radewoosh Please
@Shayan what about interviewing the founders of DEVIN AI :) or else Gennady.
Is the 1 week hype up really necessary? I believe such valuable and crucial knowledge should be made available to the masses asap
But did you ask him about randomly guessing?
Everybody makes mistakes, we are only people. But sometimes we can fix them. You can still delete the third trailer
LMAOOO This is the first comment against my work that I really enjoyed. It has it’s own style, you ask yourself what I did with 1 minute of my life. But still you will watch it for the second time. Didn’t you?
I watched it 10 times already
LMAOOO
man that was clearly the best trailer
PS3: Tell me who you want me to interview next!
My vote is for rainboy
Interview Kevin114514 please :)
We need an interview with PAG fr
