Solving puzzles is fun, but I can count on one hand the amount of times that the solution to a real world problem was some novel algorithm and not just throwing another hash map at it.
I have used a couple recursive DFS solutions to things, feeling all clever, then it breaks as the search depth increases so I switch to just memoizing in a hash map and it removes the recursion issue and gives major speedup.
Elegant solutions pretty frequently give away to messy, practical ones that don't feel as clever.
