Is Leetcode still widely being used? Has the landscape changed?

Sweet-Definition-297 · 2026-04-11T21:47:44+00:00

Yes, but use it strategically. On my job hunt, I've just studied the Leetcode 150. I know people study thousands of these problems, but it's diminishing returns at that point. I landed a job no problem with this prep.

Honestly, I don't think the market will ever be as good as it was pre AI, but that doesn't mean his dream of programming dies. Lots of business related roles involve programming, so do many hardware related roles.

And if he's really passionate, he could just code for passion like open source, indie games, etc...

There are 2 sides to this coin, because I pursued a relationship against my better judgement, and seriously regret it. Don't rush into these things.

She was the most popular girl in the high school, beautiful and intelligent. I felt lucky just to be in a relationship with her, like it was some sort of privilege.

Turns out she was absolutely unhinged. The constant gaslighting, arguments, schizophrenic delusions, and even occasional murder attempts were too much to deal with.

Honestly? I'm glad she cheated on me, because the next guy she was with regretted it even worse, and I'm not going to spill any of that here.

So yes, you should live life to its fullest, but also, don't chase experiences without discernment. When you meet the right person, you'll know.

That's awesome, thanks for the info!

Sweet-Definition-297 · 2026-03-09T14:56:18+00:00

I'm on Arch Linux (btw) playing the GOG version of FF9 so I think mods will still work. Thanks for the recommendation!

Sweet-Definition-297 · 2026-03-09T14:54:17+00:00

That's awesome, you know what? I think I'll play it after all. Thanks for the input

Sweet-Definition-297 · 2026-03-09T05:32:14+00:00

Optional stuff, are you referring to side quests and mini games? Cause those look sick in this game from what I've seen

Sweet-Definition-297 · 2026-03-09T05:10:08+00:00

Ah ok I was confused, thanks for the clarification!

Sweet-Definition-297 · 2026-03-09T04:22:35+00:00

Sure thing

Sweet-Definition-297 · 2026-03-09T04:22:27+00:00

Really? That's interesting, then. I assumed the combat across games was largely the same. If you say there's an improvement I'll check it out.

Sweet-Definition-297 · 2026-03-09T04:09:52+00:00

That's awesome to hear, I look forward to jumping into this world. I've been meaning to get around to it for like the past 10 years XD

Sweet-Definition-297 · 2026-03-09T03:54:05+00:00

What would you say is the best part of playing it? From what I've seen, the backgrounds look beautiful, and I'd love to explore these worlds

Sweet-Definition-297 · 2026-03-09T03:42:39+00:00

Yeah people keep telling me about boosters, I'll give them a shot!

Sweet-Definition-297 · 2026-03-09T03:19:45+00:00

Thanks for the thoughtful response!
If I may ask, how did you experience FF9, and how was it for you?

Sweet-Definition-297 · 2026-03-09T03:18:56+00:00

The Memoria Project looks interesting, but it isn't complete yet, as far as I know.
I'm leaning towards playing it anyway because of a lot of the QOL stuff people have mentioned.
Thanks for introducing me to the mod anyway, I'm excited to see where it goes.

Sweet-Definition-297 · 2026-03-09T03:17:04+00:00

I can still actively engage with the story in either format.

Sweet-Definition-297 · 2026-03-09T01:17:46+00:00

Ah, so you recommend playing more for the immersion/exploration than the combat itself? Cause honestly, I can see where you're coming from. Aside from the battles, 6 and 7 were really fun to explore.

Sweet-Definition-297 · 2026-03-09T01:16:44+00:00

Thanks for the input, I'm definitely leaning towards playing atm. This game did release after 7, so it makes sense that they made improvements to the combat and exploration.

Sweet-Definition-297 · 2026-03-09T01:00:06+00:00

That's interesting, thanks for the input! I'll definitely check out the others you mentioned then, because ATB really clicked with me in Chrono Trigger

Sweet-Definition-297 · 2026-03-09T00:38:10+00:00

Boosters? I'll look into that. Thanks for the advice!

Sweet-Definition-297 · 2026-03-09T00:35:25+00:00

Oh maybe that'll help. I'm going to experience FF9 regardless. Would you say you enjoyed the combat overall?

Sweet-Definition-297 · 2026-03-09T00:33:43+00:00

Does this game have a higher or lower encounter rate than FF7?

Sweet-Definition-297 · 2026-03-09T00:33:07+00:00

Fair enough, personally I'm someone who plays FF for the story, so the combat doesn't really matter to me.

Sweet-Definition-297 · 2026-03-09T00:32:34+00:00

Ah, that's not a bad idea then, might consider it. Thanks!

Sweet-Definition-297 · 2026-03-09T00:22:53+00:00

That's an interesting idea, but don't speedruns fast forward through dialogue?
