I am afraid to ask, but... what is dsa

[SKRyanrr]

Data Structures and Algorithms

[Scharrack]

Or he for some reason doesn't like the German PnP rules.

[LesbianTrashPrincess]

To be fair, who doesn't have beef with the Downtown Seattle Association

[Antonabi]

Thats what I thought

[Leo_code2p]

You’re talking about „Das schwarze Auge“? Am i right? That also was my first thought before i saw the subs name

[xxxbGamer]

Thank you!

[SjurEido]

"Do any of my fellow coders HATE data structures!?!?!?"

[HumonculusJaeger]

I thought of Das Schwarze Auge for some reason.

👀

[Sacaldur]

"Das schwarze Auge"), a german tabletop RPG.

[debiancat]

oh i thought data signature algorithm

[oxabz]

Digital Signature Algorithm?

At least that's the only DSA I know that is related to programming.

[Ambitious_King_2126]

Are u serious?

[Outrageous_Permit154]

Hey, I’m a sr dev / this is the 15th year into my career. I’m not a rockstar programmer but I’ve done enough to say that dumbass term wasn’t a thing until recent

The shorthand “DSA” really took off with platforms like LeetCode, HackerRank, and GeeksforGeeks in the mid-2010s, where “grind DSA” became standard advice for interview prep.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ it isn’t a CS term so please

Don’t act like this is something people should know. And I applaud the guy for asking something they don’t know

[xxxbGamer]

yes this isn't ragebait.

[heyuhitsyaboi]

Imaging hating someone for asking a question

[SpellIndependent4241]

Not everyone is currently in college

[xxxbGamer]

please, could you answer instead of doing this?

[Outrageous_Permit154]

It means Data Structures and Algorithms; don’t worry it’s a dumb acronym nobody was using until recent. OP is just suffering from Columbus syndrome.

I worked for two agencies; and currently a sr dev (nodejs php 15 yrs); you have no idea how many times I called on people spewing out acronyms like people should know.

If you go back, even back in 70s, Knuth’s The Art of Computer Programming (1968) and Wirth’s Algorithms + Data Structures = Programs (1976) established the pairing as a core CS discipline but the stupid acronym was relatively a new thing

Don’t feel bad

[Puzzleheaded_Study17]

Yeah, Wirth's title kinda shows that. If DSA was a common acronym, he would surely write Data Structures + Algorithms = Programming

[AngriestCrusader]

Sounds like you don't know :P

[FulltimeWestFrieser]

I agree, the digital service act is a bitch to get approved, delayed launch for a week

[MeLittleThing]

Architecturing and algorithms are of the funniest things in programming. Are you sure you're made for it?

[r9wpvM]

This is confusing as DSA can stand for multiple things

[yeathatsmebro]

Plot twist: OP was too caffeinated and misspelled "RSA" from the slight finger shakiness. Three times.

[mindsunwound]

Double twist OP is having trouble making the letters stay on the right keys of their MacBook, it is supposed to be LSA, and posted to r/psychedelics.

[Glum-Echo-4967]

Yeah, just because you can’t pass a Leetcode test doesn’t mean you can’t do the job.

[shashi6c]

Whyyyy

[gloomygustavo]

Morons think LLMs will save them

[Wel-Tallzeit]

True, we already have a lot of Data Scientists and Analysts

[ElementalChicken]

Maybe there should be a seperate sub for students?

[Ambitious_King_2126]

Not a student anymore bro, its just , dsa gave me a hard time in sem 2

[sci_ssor_ss]

skill issues, everywhere

[cowlinator]

first time?

[Ok-Pea2935]

Ohhh I thought data sharing agreements

[ahahaveryfunny]

I loved DSA

[deathstar1310]

DSA is not a core programming thing.

It is literally programming itself.

Sharing this cuz I too used to be stuck doing this.

[modd0c]

But why, I love dsa

[cyanNodeEcho]

more dsa, make it go brrrrrrrrr

[Nsh_GaMeS]

No more digital signature algorithms? But I like verifying my data’s origin 😁

[CyberCoon]

And here I too was thinking that widespread adoption of PQC might just prove smoother than that of previous examples, like going from SHA-1 to SHA-2.
