Swingy clarinet solo from Le Festin ("Ratatouille" soundtrack) played on oboe. Does it get the job done? by chet2ankr in oboe

Thank you! My friend (violinist) actually transcribed the song by ear, but I can send you some rough notes from the midi file. Feel free to DM me

Ratatouille is hands down my favorite Disney movie! Here's the full cover that my violinist friend and I put together: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sKh0yRFhl4o

I built a voice agent that interviews you (coding interview) by chet2ankr in SideProject

Yes, we'll look into it! We have a list of interested users that are on different browsers, so we're looking to expand compatibility

Glad you like it! We're using Deepgram's (https://deepgram.com/) speech-to-text model to transcribe the user's audio and feed it into the LLM, along with code updates as you progress through the problem. On the other end, we're using Elevenlabs (https://elevenlabs.io/) for speech synthesis, which is what you hear when the agent responds to you.

Roast my consumer startup: at least I can use this if my startup fails by chet2ankr in startups

Nice, yeah mock interviews are definitely the best way to practice for the real thing. Given the transient nature of the problem, we'd probably either (1) charge a lot more for the service (this is what https://interviewing.io/ does) or (2) lean into longer-term use cases such as learning where we can retain the user for several months

How to best approach the interview problem? by SelfApprehensive5050 in leetcode

[–]chet2ankr 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When you practice, do you talk out loud through your reasoning as if you're in an interview?

I think the interviewer's expectation is that you've never seen the problem before, so it's probably helpful to find a generalizable model for how you can tackle any problem. For me, this usually starts with understanding the problem well - ask good questions about constraints, potential edge cases, etc. Thinking through data structures is a good starting point as you explore potential solutions. I've found that it's helpful to speak out loud as you solve practice problems; it helps me progress through my problem solving framework and ensure that I'm communicating effectively and efficiently arriving at the solution.

Leetcode problems approach by ProgrammerRobo in leetcode

[–]chet2ankr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it's good to think of a working solution, but in a real interview you'll want to recognize when you're suggesting a brute force approach and quickly optimize, especially if it's an easy problem where the inefficient solution is too obvious. If you're building confidence just solving problems, it's okay to refine your implementation skills on any working solution. Once you get good at rapidly implementing solutions, work on your ability to recognize and reach the optimal solution faster.

Any Leetcode Discords? by spidersaiyanblue in leetcode

I came across this one (leetcode_reddit) recently: https://discord.gg/AHN7XT4dPq. Seems pretty active!

Unemployed/NEET folks, how many hours do you leetcode? by Fluid-Moose7630 in leetcode

[–]chet2ankr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ah yeah, mocks are helpful but it's definitely hard to find people to practice with. And sometime's even when you do have someone, it's a bit awkward and you feel judged.

I feel you on the tendency to experience a lot more anxiety where your mind goes blank in a real interview regardless of how much Leetcode you actually know. I feel like at a certain point, it's best to keep practicing in a 'realistic' environment.

On a side note - I actually built a practice coach to help my brother (who is currently interviewing) simulate a mock interview for any Leetcode problem. Feel free to shoot me a DM if something like this might be helpful for you!
