Wow that's amazing man. How much time did it take for you complete the blind 75 twice. How many hours you spent per day.

I'd like to know if we only do leetcode if we are aiming at FAANGs.

Lots of companies just need help with basic shit. Good luck!

there are some wheels you will never be able to reinvent on your own.

Well done. Wow. What was your daily schedule like?

How do you not get bored?? How do you stay motivated

Discipline@@krox477

I still can't solve easy solutions without looking at solutions. But with anything if you do not enjoy or at least show up to it almost everyday try to find something where you can When I was training BJJ it was 4-5 times a week (some days were rough) but you still show up@@krox477

After 5 months bro declared me a farmer :)

Not to mention calculating risks through various variables that are present like the weather and possible diseases. A farmer is a little bit of "know-it-all" kind of profession.

Survivor bias. The "developed" world hates farmers. Simple as.

​@@grapesurgeon Wait, you think farming used to the easier in the past? Lmao! 🤣

@@Ebani Farming was easier in terms of expectations. You were just expected to diligently work your field and not be lazy about it. Modern day, you're expected to use modern techniques and approach the problem of farming with some degree of scientific and engineering discipline. You can still make a miscalculation in either environment and turn out a poor harvest. The difference is that in the past nearly every other farmer wasn't doing any better so you were still generally competitive, while today, you'd go bankrupt.

2 points you might be missing: while it is true that farming isn't easy(it actually is pretty hard), the barrier to entry to farming is a lot lower than it is for mathematics. How long do you think it will take for someone and what percentage of the population do you think will be somewhat productive as a farmer? I would say the vast majority of people will probably be somewhat competent in farming in a couple of years. Contrast that with mathematics, to be able to actually do anything useful with it, you need to study it from elementary school to high school (and that's being generous). Even then, the vast majority of people just end up "not getting it". Secondly, I think you're underestimating how hard it is to do something so abstract like math. Have you ever seen the meme of some dude having difficulty doing fractions, but as soon as it's related to something like pizza and beer, it suddenly gets a lot easier? That's the same thing with farming and math. Farming is a very concrete task. You know what you want to do, you can see what you want to do, you can see it as you're doing it. Math is way more abstract. There isn't a way to check what you're doing is right unless you have a teacher or a calculator with you. And that's only arithmetic. I'm an engineer and the amount of engineers that get by without using math is astonishing to me. I'm one of the lucky few in my workplace that actually "gets it" and actually do end up using math for tasks. It's a surprisingly rare skill even amongst the "intelligent".

ouch. i can feel that past experience of yours. i saw the same crazy microservices get-bankrupt-fast scheme

Damn i have my data structures and algo final exam this afternoon and i've just been studying for it by practicing enough problems so that i will have technically "seen" any type of problem that appear on the exam (this is how i've done well in every single exam my life).

That sounds like an awesome teacher, btw.

You had good professor

Example of why compsci CAN be flawed, and how good teaching bridges it.

How do you learn efficiently

Answer the question now?

Wrong. It should be both. Learn a lot and learn efficiently.

​@@asagiai4965 but each person has a capacity.

@@zorzem3290im curious also

I don't think it's necessarily true that you have to act like you're seeing it for the first time. Even in interviews I've conducted or I've seen other people conduct, nobody is taken by surprise if you are familiar with an optimal solution. The important bit is to be able to write correct and clearly understandable code. If you prematurely write an optimized algorithm whose solution you're not comfortable with, you're likely going to bomb the interview.

I don't think this is the correct way to think about this. You don't need to memorize the syntax and pretend you are seeing it on the stop. I'm and interviwer and have completed something like 200 interviews in my career. The biggest thing we are looking for is your thought process. Do you understand the problem deeply? Can you have a conversation about it? Are you stumbling around basic coding skills like writing a for loop... or does it come naturally to you? Does this person overcomplicate things to try to impress me?

life is so fucked when you need another job to find a job

If you solve the question too fast, the interviewer will come with another one. The goal is to keep you talking (pretty much as a hostage negotiation 🤔), not check if you solve the problem or not

reg the 101's of interviews and its purpose that few comments brought up - I get the basics and expectations of interviews since i have been a interviewer too. Some further thoughts 1. In a live interview, anyone who hasn't heavily practiced leetcoding will go though a process of assumptions and errors to come to a correct solution. without knowing the pattern, i'm not sure if a leetcode medium-hard can be written with a minimum complexity nlogn solution in 30-45 mins. 2. Most interviewers are too rigid and some even go on to infer negatively if you refer syntax ( ** syntax here doesn't necessarily mean how to write a for loop or looking up basic ds functions) - language specific details like default behaviour of an in-built methods or methods/arguments. If you have to remember such details on top of your head then it means as a developer you are not allocating enough space for higher complicated problems. Interviews are all about testing your understanding of cs concepts and not about how fast you can recollect some details that you can easily look up or learn with some effort.

@@WORK-qw7vsp and c?

While this is true, the main reason you should grind daily is because because it normalizes the process which reduces (and mostly eliminates) anxiety.

That's not only memorization, it's building intution by familiarizing yourself with patterns

Some of these algorithms took very smart people a very long time to prove and formalize. No one can come up with that in 30 mins

@@NihongoWakannai Definitely. Took me way too long to learn this, though.

​@@NihongoWakannaiNo, it's intelligent people not "smart people" who made those algorithms. Smart people used intelligent people algorithms to make money like Jeff Bezos who made Amazon. He studied computer science and he used his knowledge from school to make a book e-commerce website from using intelligent people program languages like html css js and ruby. Naruto is a good example describing smart people. If you take Naruto vs Neji. It was about Intelligent vs smart. Neji was the a spoil intelligent kid who parents brainwashed him to think he was superior and smarter than anyone else because his parents was feeding him lessons and knowledge. Naruto grow up thriving into a world with no parents. But Naruto showed him his place where intelligent people aren't like smart people. Smart people find shortcuts to beat intelligent people.

@@sukapow bro I did not expect the business bro jeff bezos talk to switch into the weeb naruto talk, you really hit me with that mixup

​@@sukapow Gotta give credit to the inventors though. Most of us don't wanna be the ones figuring out how algorithms are designed and proven to work, we just wanna use the tools to create whatever software that we want. It took these geniuses hundreds and thousands of hours of heavy thinking so that we can learn it within an hour or 2. So no one's "beating" each other, and I don't like how its gotta be a competition when the fact is, we wouldn't know about these things if it weren't for the intelligent.

Took me too long to realise this, I used to think that all those top coders at codeforces were so great because they could come up with the solution of problems outta nowhere, until when I realised that a lot of it was just identifying the common patterns they've seen across multiple problems. Ofcourse there's problem solving as well but I thought only problem solving was required, I had no idea about identifying the common patterns, maybe if I did I'd atleast reach Candidate master level there

As a person who competed in high school olympiads and prepared purrely on their own. I can without a doubt say that your claim is not correct. With the evolution of online resources it's quite easy to find interesting and challenging problems for yourself to efficiently improve and perform better in competitions. Giving hints is often counterproductive and gives young students a false sense of knowledge. I've seen a lot of students performing "well" in lectures only because of being given hints and then "underperforming" at the actual competitions because of a lack of effort. What people call "memorization" is simply the fact that once you have solved a large amout of problems, what becomes "easy" to you is probably "hard" for others. Coming back to the faang interviews, problems asked at them are mostly straightforward, if it happens to not be a trully hard problem, the interviewer will probably guide you in the right direction. It's important to follow hints and communicate well.

Frrrr, i was about to give up, not just coding but give up on life in general 🥲🥲

@@adib4361 Dude, are u ok? Please tc

But can you solve them in O(N) instead of O(N**2) or O(log N) instead of O(N)? The initial solution is easy, its the optimized algorithm that gets me every time...

@@archardor3392 for easys, yes. I feel like they're more a test of your DS knowledge than techniques. mediums and up are more technique focused

Repetition is the key

Keep going. It takes 6+ months or years

This is why I prefer to be able to rederive anything I'd need, because my memory is too unreliable to trust with memorization. Repetition leads to boredom, which leads to loss of focus, which leads to forgetting.

Same. Memory is waaay to fickle. Repetition makes me feel like a cripple. But is ok, people with better hardware attention stack and neural DRAM can have the jobs. I'll be doing maintenance on their work for years.

Maybe you could try to write some sort of documentation exploring the theoretic part of it and if there would be more efficient solutions.

Getting good at leetcode, i.e DSA questions will NOT make you a better programmer lol. You will almost never use anything you learnt from doing leetcode questions in your job. It's just a convenient way for companies to quickly test you. Being good at leetcode != Being a good programmer

You're just gonna give up again like the last 2 years.

If you want to get good at programming, then pick a project, and start working on it. If you get stumped anywhere, look up what stumped you and read until you understand what the results were trying to tell you. Do not copy and paste the snippets they give; read the text around the snippets so that you can translate the snippets from whatever language or framework they were originally written for into the language or framework that you initially chose to write in.

Thank you so much 🙏

​@@anirudhbhat2978 basically every LC question on this channel 😅 Plus all questions on LC discuss section for interview exp

Sorry to hear that! As someone who's on a hiring committee that reviews interview results, I hate when that happens. I really miss proper in-person whiteboard interviews, where if something like that came up, you could just ask the interviewer, "what's the syntax for subsets again?" and they would answer you and you could keep going without even having to take the time of looking it up. They'd then maybe make a note of "candidate had to ask about subset syntax" in the report, but then on the review side we'd look at that and say, "Okay, they had to ask about a couple of common bits of syntax across four interviews, but that's a minor thing and they're clearly good at problem solving and they know when to ask questions rather than getting stuck, so on balance they did fine."

THIS IS THE WAY

@3:13-4:46 Yup. Spot on.
