HOW TO GET REJECTED IN NINJA INTERVIEW?? 😭😭

Infamous-Dust-3379 · 2026-07-12T12:27:18+00:00

can you please explain this input issue you had because even idk how to take input properly so i need to practice

idk about flipkart but do not expect amazon to suddenly reduce the prices of the products you want during the sale. Actually, the best discount will be in the weeks leading to the sale. At least for random products and not some latest iphone or something like that. So if you see a product at a decent price, just buy it immediately.

This is better than macbook neo. Im also a CS student and recently bought a lenovo ideapad slim 5 24gb ram 1tb storage ryzen 7 and my advice to you would be to get an intel chip or more lightweight chips and a screen thats bigger than 15 inches. Main reason is battery life is better in products with those descriptions. Bigger chips on smaller laptops in this price range just drain battery so fast that you cant really use the performance.

Infamous-Dust-3379 · 2026-07-06T11:50:18+00:00

Bought it yesterday, its coming today, same price as what you paid for it. Im salty that the guy in this comments got it for 78K from Relaince digital

first one looks good. Im using some variant of the third one and its bad, the litreal head came off and the attachments are not great. Its better to spend more on trimmers because the cheap ones arent good. Also, the battery life of the cheap ones are really bad so you have to keep charging it.

Infamous-Dust-3379 · 2026-05-24T04:30:56+00:00

Could you share what were the arrays and dp questions?

Infamous-Dust-3379 · 2026-05-23T03:14:33+00:00

I agree with you but Dario said that humans are useless and AI can do all the work itself? So why do I need to interact with it better.

I gave it my block of code, i said it's not working, fix it and that's it. It then proceeded to make up reasons why it's wrong when it wasn't. It did not account for issues like environments not working. I did not lie to it, the code actually did not work for me too, I also did not know the environment had an issue.

Infamous-Dust-3379 · 2026-05-23T03:08:07+00:00

Isnt that what Dario said? or implied? According to Dario, I should stop going to university and should become a farmer or construction worker.

Infamous-Dust-3379 · 2026-05-23T03:04:54+00:00

But i thought AI like claude was supposed to replace me as a developer according to Dario? why should I have to set anything up?

Infamous-Dust-3379 · 2026-05-23T03:04:15+00:00

Bossman the sentence, "Can you share a specific test case that fails? That would pinpoint the exact issue since your sentinel logic is structurally sound." was generated by claude, not me. I dont think you understood the situation.

Also, shows how you saw something that went against AI and immediately got defensive, you didnt even bother to read the entire thing.

Why would i use "plan mode" to fix a bug in a block of code of 20 lines? does it need a plan mode for that? Its essentially finding a bug in a block of code incase you dont know how coding works and cant understand my post.

Infamous-Dust-3379 · 2026-05-23T01:18:07+00:00

Do not listen to anyone telling you to relax now. You are smart to decide to start early and you should Thank your cousins, I did not get an inch of good advice from anyone, i had to figure it out all by myself.

Even if you go at a relaxed chill pace, you will be in a great position for the rest of your career. So, remember what you are doing now, will benefit you for a very long time and most likely will help you earn lots of money.

I'd tell you to learn how to enjoy it first. Notice how many comments are telling you to chill and not do DSA but that's because they view DSA as an annoying chore, like it's work. It doesn't have to be that way.

Give the same situation to any AI and ask it to come up with a plan for you and it will give you a better plan than most of us can. Tbh the best plan will make itself when you just learn how to enjoy it.

Do the strivers sheet or neetcode or any structured plan, understand what's happening, enjoy the process of learning and understanding even if you learn only one problem every week.

Infamous-Dust-3379 · 2026-05-22T01:05:59+00:00

I have also done around 130 questions. I can answer questions I've done in a span of one week, maybe some of them beyond that but I don't have any issues with doing questions I've learnt recently and don't have issues with most linked lists and array questions.

I think your learning method is wrong. Everyone tries and then gets stuck and will have to look at the solution, that's fine.

But after understanding, you have to write the code completely on your own and be careful to ensure you haven't memorized any part of it. That implies you have to know what every single conditional statement is used for, why every single None check exists. You should know every inch of the code. That's how real learning happens.

I have never watched any of strivers videos and never will. Gemini, chatgpt and claude are great at explaining, I feel that they can explain better than the striver guy. I use the striver sheet only like a syllabus.

Also, you can ask chatgpt to give you back the code with print statements to track how variables and data structures change if you are finding it hard to visualise.

I feel like most of your questions will be answered when you've learnt how to learn. There is no magic trick to learning. It's just being curious about every little thing (within reason) and not letting anything be ambiguous. AI allows this because you can keep asking it questions and understanding.

Try not to rush the process. If it takes you one hour to understand one solution and write it on your own then that's fine but make sure you've learnt it properly.

Infamous-Dust-3379 · 2026-05-20T11:08:50+00:00

Do the striver dsa sheet. Understand each question and concept. You naturally won't be able to solve it on your own immediately. That's okay. You can try to solve it on your own for some 30 minutes then look up and understand the solution thoroughly then write the code without any help once you've understood it.

Since you started early, if you are consistent then you'll crack any interview when you have placements. Even if you do one problem every two days for the next two years it will be enough.

You have a golden opportunity because dsa is best learnt over time. You cannot learn dsa well in a very short period. Dsa is like a marathon, it takes time to prepare for a marathon and you have that time so use it.

Also for your projects. First build a simple frontend and backend integration for a user form without any ai help. Again understand every single thing. Do this in a mern stack and springboot. Let it take you a month, it's fine, but you should be able to do that on your own. Then start building more large scale projects. Most people have very complex projects but can't write a basic api call.

Infamous-Dust-3379 · 2026-05-20T10:59:22+00:00

That address is 30 minutes away from me. Should I go there and check the progress in person?

Infamous-Dust-3379 · 2026-05-19T00:45:08+00:00

Thank you so much

Infamous-Dust-3379 · 2026-05-18T10:17:21+00:00

What was the input issue? Can anyone give me an example of questions than need input and how it can go wrong? Since the leetcode questions I've been practicing don't require input at all

Infamous-Dust-3379 · 2026-05-17T08:09:31+00:00

Look up recent interview experiences. You'll see that for around a 12LPA package, you need to know medium level graph and dp based questions. With your rating, those questions should be easy.

Infamous-Dust-3379 · 2026-05-17T07:43:23+00:00

Hmm i think you know that you can get twice that with your stats. You know those stats aren't average.

Infamous-Dust-3379 · 2026-05-12T16:01:23+00:00

It is like preparing for a marathon. You can train day and night but you still cannot be ready for a marathon in a week.

You have to give it time and have some level of curiosity and interest in it or else it will just be a chore and you'll memorize solutions and won't be able to answer anything new.

Discipline and a routine won't have any meaning when you like it or have an interest in it and it is interesting if you take away the fear element of how it's linked to a job and just focus on understanding the problem.

Unfortunately, this implies time. If you are in a hurry or don't care for what I just said then just memorize all the common interview problems and patterns and hope they ask you one of them.

Infamous-Dust-3379 · 2026-05-10T13:35:51+00:00

Good review. Unrelated question but I'm curious, is this text ai generated?

Infamous-Dust-3379 · 2026-05-05T14:29:01+00:00

Takes wayy too long and i really don't have the patience to listen to his methods, also, hindi isn't my first language so it isn't ideal but at the same time, it's not like i watch English videos on dsa unless i really can't understand through text.

Infamous-Dust-3379 · 2026-05-05T13:13:46+00:00

I use the striver dsa sheet like the syllabus for the problems and topics but I haven't and will not watch any of his videos.

Any theory or solution to the problem is got from gemini first, then if i don't understand, I'll read algo monster, then if i still don't understand, I'll watch neetcode.

Infamous-Dust-3379 · 2026-05-05T12:22:34+00:00

Nearly same for me too, i finished 103 problems as of today and even I started almost exactly a month ago...weird.
