I Solved 1583 Leetcode Questions Here's What I Learned

Re: DP - Get your shit in order. 🤣

Agreed about Leetcode performance numbers. It would be ideal if they could sum up the cost of ops from an empirical algo point of view - not Big-O, but actual sum. As the same test cases are run for all, it would be a good relative benchmark.

Giy missed a trick, he should have stopped at 1337.

This dude is aderall

Why light mode Java? Brother he’s Indian

LEgit question... Anyone actually get hit with those leetcode question during interview? Anyone actually got asked to code a binary tree and sort it? Anyone actually use that knowledge in their day to day work?

I've had to work with a ton of legacy code. I have to figure out a new framework or technology every other month. I have to delve through obscure documentation to figure out how a client API work and how to communicate with it. I spend countless hour in meeting drawing up requirement with client, and some more meeting to discuss KPI with direction.

But coding a binary tree? Never once in 11 year have I done anything remotely close to that.

there are so few problems i see that could be solved with wrote task memorisation, but Mojang needs to grind leetcode so fuufing bad, taking 4 years beating their head against a LIFO stacking problem in C++ that they solved said years ago in Java

i solved 1973 leetcode questions, and I am writing some shitty web app, and got fired this monday

I just learned Binary Search, first time in my life, took me 10' min, for real. What a beautiful feeling

Link to that 9 hrs freezy DSA course??

guys, go to frontend masters for the algorithms course

toddlers don't know the concept of body balance but still they start walking : moral is ____ just do.... and you will learn how to do perfectly

I think, most people miss the point of LC. It's not for grinding interviews - it's for self-development, competitiveness, curiosity and for the algorithms, discrete math and data structures

we get it, you are fuckin great. Sorry for breathing the same air as you.

Your commentary on his video is absolute non sense.

Where is the link of your DSA course???

everywhere indians its kinda both sucks and motivate😒

"Simple, obvious, and easy" are not helpful comments when folks are new, struggling, and mired in navigating even how to get all the configuration set just to start a project. It could be more helpful to suggest ways a new coder can stack their learning. The amount of things required to even get an interview are immense and the landscape is bewildering. A lot of noise out there.

solving 1583 leetcodes is nothing, optimizing all 1583 Leetcode solution would mean something.

Whiteboard? I don’t think anyone does in-person interviews anymore

I learnt programming cause it was fun, i used to build fun projects that came to my mind . i never thought programming would become this, big tech runined programming for younger generations

I hate Leetcode, real life code projects don't work like school math tests.

If it's a reaction content, make it clear through the title of the video.

he dropped a gem within the 45sec mark. no need to watch the whole thing

Leetcode trains a certain set of skills, that are usually not used by most professionals in their specific careers, that’s why a lot of people talk about it not sticking.

Yes. Geeksforgeeks is a trash.

The American cockiness of you is out of this world hahaha

I've been programming for about 20 years (mainly in gamedev), and only started paying attention to leetcode recently. At first I struggled with it despite my experience - I haven't written a binary search in years, and I haven't had to solve the kinds of hyper-niche problems that leetcode tends to throw at you. But it's only taken about a week to wrap my head around which data structures and algorithms these questions are targeting, such that now I feel pretty well equipped to answer a lot of the questions. Point being, I didn't have to grind leetcode, I didn't have to dedicate a year of my life to it - I dedicated years of my life to building and working with real software, and that gives the core skills that are transferable to any of these niches. That should be the thing you practice your craft with, and leetcode should just be something you do on the side to enhance your algorithmic thinking and to pass interviews.

they took the N out of FAnG 🤨

fok what is binary search

Idk why the "stern reprimanding" comment turned me on

Since some years in the business. The majority of problems we have got so far are NOT based on code topics. For me such tests make absolutely no sense.

Take 2 identical people. One spends 1 year on leetcode, the other spends it on building real software projects. Who is more valuable?

Using leetcode like this is a cancer on our industry.

Were now dealing with script memorizers with no passion or actual skill who have no understanding of either thr language or software fundimentals. It's so frustrating and a waste.

Don't do that.

you've learned how to waist your life in a very useless and unpleasant way, congratulations!

"Go and interview at places you would never work at"

Sure, I mean, it takes about 1,000 applications to get one interview, but we can waste two or three interviews just to get the practice in.

Where is the free algo course ?

I love how you’re saying if you don’t know Binary search and AVL trees you’re a loser. lol you’re saying as if it’s so important that you implement BS and AVL in every day software development. Bro you haven’t even solved 1583 problems like the guy in the video but here you’re judging and calling others losers. You’re reacting to a guy who solved over 1500 problems and milking views out of it. You’re the loser here. Imagine how much of a low life you’re that you have to resort to reacting to garner views. Get a life

I tried leetcode just for fun and to learn. Didn't care for it much. I prefer the process of making a shitty program and adding on or making it better to learn.
Also it seems like you could just copy paste the answers everyone posts to inflate you rating.

Ive been a php programmer for many years, and dont know anything about sorting, an O and all that. Its not really needed in PHP, but im preparing to expand my knowledge, and other languages currently.

Where’s the course you said you’ll mention in description!? 😅

Great idea about applying at places you don’t want to work at for interview practice.

True. No amount of leetcode can prep you. 4 years of experience, and I'm on my 5th company. Amount of interviews, idfk anymore.

And yes, I still get the jitters.

Shit video, too much filler

This guy really called him out for stealing the AVL tree from GeeksforGeeks. But he also stole the original video's title, along with a thumbnail that makes it seem as if he’s the one "doing the challenge." Then got more 7x the views for lazy commentary.
