I recently started using CompeteX and was curious about everyone else’s experience. What was the first challenge you participated in, and what was your biggest takeaway? Whether you won or not, I’d love to hear what you learned and any tips for someone just getting started.

My first challenge was a SQL fundamentals challenge. I went in thinking it would be all about syntax, but I quickly realized it was more about understanding the problem before writing the query. That shift in thinking was probably the biggest takeaway for me. Curious to hear what everyone else learned from their first challenge.
