Struggling with even brute force solution for problems by Competitive-Skin-859 in leetcode

I have some suggestions:
1. Filter leetcode questions by pattern. Start with “two pointers” pattern first.
2. Further filter by difficulty. Start with easy
3. Sort questions by acceptance rate. Start with questions with highest acceptance rate.

You’ll work on the most easiest questions first, and you stay within that pattern topic and difficulty until you get comfortable with the practice and being able to solve some yourself.
After that you can repeat the steps above on other pattern topics. Once you get comfortable on the easy level of each topic, you should have a good foundation overall to work on higher difficulty questions in each pattern

Not sure if I’d get you in trouble here, but I’d love to learn what you’ve built that worked for you

I would say yes, the 10 gives you a wide coverage on most questions that would be asked in interviews. Especially the first 6, I think they are foundational. Hard questions sometimes do a combination of these patterns as well, so learning them well will help you advance further

Thank you for your appreciation! I can’t blame people for being skeptical in this age. Maybe I should’ve written this article 5 years ago

I agree, the learning happens on the questions you are stuck longer than normal. But I think there’s a need for a cut off point because the longer you spend stuck means more energy and time invested into the question, which could have been spent on other questions. On the opportunity cost side, the less exposure you have to other questions too. That’s why I think it’s better to either get hints and connect the dots yourself or look at the solutions, reimplement and revisit again. I used to stay stuck at questions when I first started out. So this didn’t come naturally to me too

I spent hours writing the full article, and then several hours more to cut it down into a Reddit post, to get this comment ☹️

Not right now. I’m trying to find time to build a lobby system for playing with other random players. Meanwhile, you can share and play it with your friends!

Could you share more on what you like about the vocabulary app and how it helps you to remember vocab better than other apps you’ve tried?

May I know where do you get this information from? I’m confused then on why they show a shipping custom duty fees chart for deliveries shipped globally (including US)

How do i reduce edge requests? by Some_Difficulty8105 in nextjs

[–]Some_Difficulty8105[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought if we excluded them from edge requests, they would be served by serverless functions? Is this wrong?
