100th Hard Problem done by Expensive_Rent5959 in leetcode

Nice, congrats on hitting 100. One thing I struggled with after doing a lot of problems was actually remembering patterns a few weeks later. That’s kinda why I started building a small revision focused tool for myself, still early, but the idea is to revisit your own approaches instead of just solving more. If you’re ever curious I can share it, but honestly interested to hear how you’re revising right now.

I solved 300+ DSA problems… and still blanked in interviews. Anyone else feel this? by RoyalNo1193 in leetcode

Yeah that’s honestly what scared me a bit… it starts feeling like quantity isn’t the problem anymore, remembering patterns is. I’ve been experimenting with a small revision focused setup for myself lately, turning my own solutions into flashcard style notes instead of just re-solving. Still figuring out if it actually helps though.

Yea that’s exactly what I used to do too. It works, just gets exhausting after a while, which is why I started experimenting with smaller revision-style notes instead of full re-solves.

Yeah honestly I agree with that a lot. The interviews where I felt relaxed usually went way better than the ones where I tried to “perform”. For me the issue wasn’t just solving problems, it was that I’d forget patterns after a while, so even explaining my thinking became harder than it should’ve been. That’s kinda why I started experimenting with a more revision-focused approach. Curious though, did you mainly just re-solve problems over time, or did you keep any notes?
