We'll be using Copilot and whatever to fix whitespace in code (adding a few spicy bugs in the process) something rule based formatters have been able to do for decades at basically zero processing cost.

A coding problem that sounded simple, but to implement it with good performance was quite a challenge::
Given a number n, find the next number m where m > n, with m containing the same digits as n

534987 -> 537489
111 -> no solution, -1, error or whatever
EDIT: changed the solution of example for 534987
