@Broken_Codebase

As per his wikipedia page - "His parents, Vladimir and Lyudmila Korotkevich, are programmers in the mathematics department at Francysk Skaryna Homiel State University. At age 6, he became interested in his parents' work. When he was 8, his father designed a children's game he could use to learn programming."

He definitely put in the effort to reach where he is today, but a fair share of credit goes to his upbringing. I would say his parents did a brilliant parenting. Huge respect for them too.

When Gennady makes a syntax error in the code, the compiler apologizes and corrects itself in the next version

@thabisokobe9224

bro 18 with 18+ years of coding experience  a hiring managers wet dream

@lancetv4826

This dude breathes code.

@MarenSajdaras

Gennady is the Top G of competitive programming, absolutely an inspiration for others

@ЕгорМалько-б7ш

Tourist was my teacher in ITMO University back in 2020 💪💪

@zshn

Remember when they said, hard work beats talent 99 times out of 100. This is the 1 time it loses. Gennady is talented.

@v-7815

People like him are born. It's like saying if you study hard enough you can be as great as Einstein, Tesla, Newton. It's always good to keep a healthy dose of realism instead of perpetuating the whole you're just not "hungry enough or invested enough". Some peoples brain are just wired differently

@aCGH07

He's 30 years old now and his parents were programmers both.

@amanjha5883

Average competitors in my hackathons be like💀💀💀

@slantingclock9679

Im surpised no one is asking how exactly he managed to get this far and how he manages to remain successful.

@abhishekparmar4983

and still not a single named software in his name, i'd love if he would create something like linux, the world could really use say a new opensource webrowser which does not rely on chromium

@obrutus

I came to his profile late within my CP journey, but when I did, it put a next level of inspiration within my journey.
Gennady Korotkevich (tourist), a man with great skills.

@23BCP361HarpalP

However much effort you put in , however much hunger you have , an intermediate talent cannot compare to tourist talent   after all especially one that also works hard

@zuhayersiddique6430

But can he center a div

@curious_one1156

Tourist is the Ramanujam of CP. No level of hunger can make anyone match him. 
Of course, there is no surprise that he is one of the hardest working CPist too.

Now Gennady should work as a computer scientist. Adopt to a different game.

@VirajAshar

The contest in which he appears, everyone wishes to come 2nd🤣

@thereayou-j7w

Story from my mom (a Belarusian informatics teacher who mentored several IOI winners):
When Gena showed up for his first Belarusian National Olympiad as a 2nd grader (~8 years old), the organizers thought he was some lost kid. Then he took 20th place and got a second grade diploma

@naivedyam2675

Tbh 2600 problems is too less for a person of this rank. This proves he is far more brilliant than an average guy

@SonOfGod-i2c

Some people are just born to do something and they figured it out and gave it everything.
