I will leave one little story here, as it relates to this video. If you are someone that feels like you are not smart enough to succeed, then this story is for you. I was one of the worst students back in my middle school. I remember being the only one not able to understand stuff in math class that basically everyone understood. The teacher even pulled me aside to talk to me. Failing lots of tests, from multiple subjects... even though I studied a decent amount of time... Eventually, I realized I needed to increase my intelligence. This is different from getting good grades. This is about increasing your comprehension, creativity and brainpower. I thought that math problems, not those from school, were the path. So I started at them. I started easy, getting the easiest math olympiad problems I could find. Some are really easy, but even those took me lots of time reading the solutions to understand. But eventually, these started to actually become understandable to me... so I started ramping up the difficulty... I spent hours and hours everyday solving these problems, and eventually reached IMO level (International Mathematical Olympiad - though I did not make it to the actual team, I was selected as one of the potential participants, but basically everyone on the team selection tests were at least bronze level). I also became one of the top students from my country, and also a National Math and Informatics Olympic medalist. I studied for free at the top school, by getting the highest markings on the scholarship competition. It took a few years of daily study, but patience is a huge monster skill to have. Your brain just takes time to build itself. You wouldn't think of rushing a broken arm, right? Afterwards I got scouted by a top investment bank... at their best trading desk. Got the top score on their logic test by a mile. But this is getting out of topic. What I want to teach with this story of mine is that even if you are not too smart now, you can become a top tier intellectual being by sheer effort, unless maybe if you have a special condition. But in general, if you do this, solve lots of math problems, ramping up difficulty until you reach international level, you WILL become a supreme genius. Every one of the math champions that I met worked very hard to reach that level. All of them entered top schools, top jobs, etc. It really is a matter of putting in the hours... I did maybe 2 or 3 hours of math solving everyday, some days on vacation from school I did 4, 6 or 10 hours... It is a lot of work, but I guess most of the great rewards come from hard, grueling work. And mind you, I was in middle/high school. Some practical tips: get easy problems first, and try to learn one per day until you get the habit. Note that I used "learn" instead of "solve". Focus on raising your understanding, not on immediately being a top solver. Try all your obvious ideas first, and if that does not work, than start a timer for 15 minutes. Think for 15 minutes, searching for new ideas. Then read part of the solution, and try to finish the rest. Keep doing it until you get the entire solution. Also, try to understand how you could have reached that solution. How did the guy who solved it think about such an esoteric idea? You need to ponder these kinds of things, to increase your intuition. Sketch a lot. You need pen and paper. Read how the top math champions came to be and read their tips. Hope this helps someone, and also that I did not come off as arrogant. It is hard to talk about these experiences without causing the impression of "showing off" or something like that. But I also believe it may help someone. I for sure would have liked to read these words back in the day. Would have sped up my progress. If you feel you do not have a future, please believe that you can have a great life. I know it seems hopeless sometimes, but our comprehension gets limited when attacked by extreme stress and sadness. Work hard, have patience, it takes a few years, but if you put in the effort on the right things, you will most probably achieve "success". Though by then your definition of success will probably be different. Edited for typos.

[@lx4302]

Hey friend, what resources did you use to study? Did you watch youtube videos, read a book, use some site, solved past papers, went to workshops, etc.? I've been struggling to find resources as a person who does self-study, I look up past math contests to solve but couldn't find where anyone learns the topics. I really admire your story and your help here will be greatly appreciated.

[@sucraloss]

I think leetcode is a good use of time in general too because it re-programs how you think and hones out your mental edge. I've only been seriously preparing for a short time and I feel that I can approach things more analytically than before. That is always an invaluable skill in development because when the difference between a test passing or failing in your MR is a mis-handled edge case the leetcode part of your mind should help take over and figure out what's wrong. Love your site and videos, really well explained in a global economy where millions of people can code but few can explain it well, and even fewer can do so in fluent English with relatable abstractions to understand the approach.

[@xx-wp3mq]

This is entirely true, I see people bitching about how "there's no real value whatsoever", but still wrap there code in giant IF statements instead of returning edge cases at the start of a method.

Great video. I've been studying for the past few months. And I identify in most of the things you say and you put into words others I only had in my mind. In my experience and from what you said I highlight: - Order matters. - 1 or 2 daily is better than tons a day. - Repetition, feel free to do easy or mid or hard ones again even if you solve them in the last few months. - Look and understand other's answers.

[@jimmiejohnsson2272]

I always feel like doing leetcode questions on the spot is defently a skill that requires you to maintain doing it. You can learn how to solve lots of em and recognize sort of what structures and algos should be helpful but nailing a problem quickly on an interview in like 20 mins of less requires you to keep praticing it regulary. Which feels like a giant time thief for creativity that could be spent on doing more meaningful things as at the end of the day, its mostly about being able to memorize a lot of things.

[@grady.flanary]

My thoughts as someone who's in a similar AC range and found this channel helpful when starting out: First off: Wild to think that my AC count is higher than yours at this point; the channel was an immense help when I was starting out mid-last-year, and I'll admit that my count is only as high as it was due to feverish prep before going into finals with 2Sig and JS. For what it's worth, this is coming from someone who did not target FAANG due to bad timing with interviewing (late 2022) and ended up landing in trading: Personally, I think that the point where you can consistently do 99% of problems is a bit higher than 250; I'd say that was around the 300-350 mark for me. There are some concepts that I feel are hard to get down pat until you've done then several times. Additionally, in my experience, some concepts seem like they have a habit of just not coming up as frequently (prefix sum) as others (dfs/bfs), so your chances to identify and practices them are a lot lower. They're not even necessarily hard, but if you're not used to them, they can be a pain in the rear. In terms of preparedness for tech interviews, I think it depends greatly on the company. If I were to go back and do them again now, I'd feel 95% prepared, with that 5% being due to a certain company snidely asking information theory questions (I won't say who but if you know you know). However, if I were to interview for like IBM, JPMC, BOA, etc. (and likely FAANG's not known for asking DP), I can honestly say I'd feel very confident if I had to do it tomorrow with no dedicated prep time. The interview difficulties aren't consistent, and if you interview with enough companies, you'll find that out pretty easily. It's the gap between doing a pretty straightforward sorting problem versus being asked to use bit manipulation in your OA; it's not that you're less prepared overall, but rather that you're less prepared for a specific type of interview. As far as whether solving LC is worth it past that 250-300 mark, I think it depends on your targets. If you're looking for FAANG, 250-300 is acceptable. Non-FAANG F500's you can probably get away with like 200. If you're trying to do trading firms, you need to get to that 10-15 minutes for an LC medium point, which I'd say is around the 450 mark; it's not so much that you need the algorithm knowledge, since that isn't changing much, but you need to be able to look at a problem and in 20-30 seconds know "Oh this is a UF problem" , "This is two heaps", "This is graph traversal with XYZ optimization".

[@Winter_Wyvern1]

Reading this and having built website without any DSA knowledge I'm like "damn that sucks" I've been watching another JavaScript-specific DSA course on youtube and taking notes which took me 15 days, I'm like "whats the point of this all, memorizing stuff I won't ever user in a real world when my mission is to open a company one day rather than grinding 16 hours a day doing LeetCodes". Anyways u said u did 350+ , but in the last point u said for a LC medium u need 450, I didn't understand that u said for a FAANG 300 is acceptable .. maybe a typo, maybe u meant to say 150 for a confidence in doing LC medium ? And when u talk about these 100s numbers are u saying PAST the easy LC doing 300s of HARD problems OR 100s of easy+medium then 200s of medium+hard problems? If so how long it takes, on average how many hours pay day u have spend in it? Second question: is ur process the same like me: looking at the screen re-reading the task 10s times, 1-2 hours has passed, I havent solved the problem, I look at the solution I still don't understand WHATS THE POINT OF THIS ALL? Do u go back to googling and reading articles online at that point? --- A bit about my thinking process u don't need to read about: I'm like spending 4 hours on a medium LC, that's 2 mediums = a worktime of 8 hours, and then people have LIFES, BUT for me: I spend 16 hours a DAY! No life, no health, feeling stupid, others are hired mid-college, and I've built 11 projects, 8 from Udemy, 3 from me, the last 2: each 1 is bigger than all of the 8s Udemy projects, only to find out it's all worthless unless I memorize DSA (I won't change the term from 'memorize' to 'understand' because, 'memorize' is CORRECT: Remembering patterns of how to solve a problem is a waste of human life time & memorization: when u have notes & google is n-o-n-s-e-n-s-e. I also hate reading Reddit's comments "oh it helps with u problem solving" and then they end there, 0 examples of how it helped them in a real life scenario. Because frankly it didn't. Best DSA-ers are hired in FAANG: yet I see KZbin and instagram bugs lasting for 1+ year only to be never fixed like I hope in every new update: rather every new update introduces new bugs, and old bugs remain. Oh yeah "DSA helps u with problem solving", how about refreshing a video in an opened playlists in KZbin URL: `&index=` keeps auto-increasing on every single refresh and I lose the bookmark bcuz URL bugs query unnecessarily-changed (auto-increments), so I have to manually click back the video, this bug lasts for YEARS, but "DSA helps u with HUMAN problem solving". There's 10 more bugs about each social-FAANG I could write about, but it's already too lengthy. The worst part is I'm pretty sure I can fix most of them, or work in a team to help towards fixing them, but DSAers professionals/experts don't even spot them FOR YEARS.

[@pypalimti]

First of all, let me express my gratitude for the valuable content that you have provided. I have a question that may seem trivial, but it is still significant to me. My coding journey started in 2018 when I began teaching myself without having a CS degree. I started with Python, and then progressed to web development, where I learned Django. Currently, I work as a freelance developer. Although I have considered learning DS/ALGO and applying to big tech companies, my self-doubt and uncertainty have held me back from applying. Recently, I have started practicing Leetcode problems, and while I can solve easy ones, some medium ones take a long time to solve, and hard ones seem impossible. My question is: Can an individual over 30 years old, without a degree, join FAANG or MAANG companies? I would greatly appreciate your insights on this matter.

I don't if it's I working in the energy sector or like in Germany but in all my job interviews I never had to solve any coding problems.

But like I said, I never had to solve a generic "puzzle" 🤔 But I see the values of solving those and do it from time to time on Code Wars

[@kirklandcig5513]

The part usually not said in these videos is that if you're really good at these puzzles, you could land a $200k+ software job on the American west coast, which is an absurd amount of money in contrast to traditional "get a few years of apprenticeship and move up the career ladder" advice. Of course, that was also before the mass layoffs of 2023 and near zero interest rates, so we are in unknown territory.

Thanks for sharing with your experience!

[@Gentamoru]

I think the 45-60min limit per problem is important, it's happened to me on freecodecamp while doing the JS courses and it's something that is hard for me to apply because I really want to solve problems before looking into the solution. But some problems as you advance, they become more vaguely explained, with less and less detail and more complex, which can be difficult sometimes to come up with a solution, by the time you read the solution you realize that you'd probably would have never come up with anything remotely close to that so yeah, putting a time limit, looking at the solution and trying to understand it is hopefully good advice.

Do you mean it's better to solve Neetcode 150 again rather than going to 569?

[@NeetCode]

Absolutely, especially if you can't solve many of the problems from the NC 150 list from scratch. It's better to be really good at a small set of problems, then be bad at a large set of problems.

​​@@NeetCode Should I solve all problems in one categori in neetcode them move to other categories? (Should I solve all questions of DP in bline75 before start greedy) Or just do All Easyies all categories then mediums then hard. Also, is neetcode 150 better than neetcode 75?

[@simplifylearning6289]

@@user-vu8jp3si2r In one of his videos he mentioned that it is better to solve easy questions of each category first, and then move on to medium, and then hard. That way you will learn the basics of all major categories, since you don't know from which category you will be asked.

As Bruce Le said one day, "I do not afraid of a man who knows 10000 kicks, I'm afraid of a man who repeated the same kick 10000 times.

You conclude how leetcode helps you reasoning about unit testing without argumentation, how do you figure leetcode helps people unit testing? Aside of this question I believe things like leetcode are a good addition for practise, but is it really overemphasised by big, mostly American, companies for the mere fact that it's much easier to test on applicants than more abstract concepts.

[@NeetCode]

It helps me because if you press 'submit' before thinking about potential edge cases then you will likely fail the submission

[@RoyRope]

@@NeetCode Ah yes, that makes sense. Thank you.

good job man, i aspire to be like you. keep soaring your dreams, the sky is the limit.

[@rydmerlin]

Honestly what is missed with your leetcode problems is the thought process you went thru when you first solved the problem and the actual time it look to solve it. So many of these videos make people feel like solving these are easy when they are not.

[@anotheraleks]

sometimes you can spot some of neetcode's recent submissions and it gives you a piece of the whole picture

Strangest people are those that solve all those LeetCode problems to get into Google, thinking it will be like a "dream job" of sorts. News flash - it isn't. I got hired as L6, Staff Engineer and left after few moths to other company - Google is WAY past it's prime - it's not the company that people wanted to get into 10 years ago. It's full of tragic code, extremally slow pipelines and strange kind of "talent" - people that somehow confuse what engineering work is really about. My recommendation - stop watching "leet code" videos or solve those abstract problems - start solving real problems, in the real world - because this is what EVERY business is built around.

Finally someone who understands. Thank you!

[@DasEvoliii]

I don't know if it's a US thing that they are so obsessed on Leetcode problems. Where I live you basically tell them in an interview that you know their stack bla bla and then you start working with a probationary period. All they want is experience with the stack. When you tell them you solved 200 leetcode problems they will either laugh at you or ask "What is Leetcode?".

Protip: "dijkstra" is pronounced "dyke-stra" not, as you said "deekstra".

[@zanies6288]

It is actually deekstra or something like that as it is dutch name. But it's English pronunciation is indeed dykestra

[@jamesbond_007]

@@zanies6288 Yes, I think you are correct about the native pronunciation. However, since the content creator is speaking English and addressing an English speaking audience, it seemed appropriate to correct at least his English pronunciation of Edsger's last name.

One thing I'd add about language choice is that picking a language without built-in data structures in the standard library makes it impossible to solve certain questions optimally without literally needing to implement the data structures yourself. For this reason, I moved from TypeScript to Python for this kind of question...!
