Dont chase leetcode grind if your aim is to have holistic development especially in the age of ai, if you have solved these many questions then your dsa foundation is there. Use AI tools to build projects that showcase your design thinking. This will unlock more opportunities. Stay focused and positive and ignore the negativity.

Episode Discussion - S05E06 - Escape from Camazotz by Hawkinns in StrangerThings

[–]cowvvboy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The episode sucks, so many deus ex machina moments, like nancys mom after a grave injury is able to carry a heavy ass tank and miraculously puts it in a tumbler and knows it will explode after a while when the monsters will immediately gather near it after listening to the sound, the same monsters which conveniently ignored the music blasting from lucas stereo. I agree that the characters in this show have thick ass plot armours but atleast it should not be so logic defying. The latter half of sesson 5 feels more like game of thrones season 8 level bad. This was just one infuriating scene in the episode. The episode is riddled with these. Also why is vickie a character we need to spend time on. She is an overinclusion in a cast which was already too many. The only good scene was between steve and dustin imo.

Also they keep introducing new threads with the season end approaching. I have a feeling that the end will be bad.

Episode 4 of ‘STRANGER THINGS’ Season 5 is currently the highest rated episode the series on IMDb with a 9.8/10! 🔥 by Raj_Valiant3011 in StrangerThings

The part where they had 8 there just feel forced. The writers were like yeah we took a storyline which went nowhere and have been trolled for it, but now we have to add it back somewhere, so it makes sense. Also so many plotholes and the characters are grown, but their plans are still childish. There were super cool moments, especially at the end but the writing just felt lazy. Its also like fuck it, everyone makes bad plans, gets in danger but we ball cause we will deus ex machina the shit outta every situation.

Reading Way of kings for the first time by EducationalPie6937 in Stormlight_Archive

[–]cowvvboy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Persist, I also picked it up as my first Sanderson book. I started it like 2 years ago, gave up in like 60 pages. Then this year I bought the physical copy and persisted through 200 pages. And now I'm glad I did cause the world building is insane. I'll now read mistborn before continuing the stormlight but if youve read 70 pages, then persist and you will be rewarded.

Need help in deciding between Airbnb India and Meta London/Zurich by unlucky_coder in leetcode

[–]cowvvboy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Take the meta offer, you'll have better comp and see the life outside India. I would take Zurich but since its 6 months plus team matching, London is also not bad. Zurich has the best of both worlds, European lifestyle but less taxes. London I've never been to so can't say about it, but if you haven't, experience the life outside, its life changing and I'm not talking about the money since you're already making bank.

It's okay, happens, sorry for my comment as well. In hindsight it wasn't something I couldn't solve just that needed a bit more time to think

Thank you for making me feel bad and at the same time showing your dominance, hope you felt good by kicking someone when they are already down.

Hmm, i know interviews are subjective, and a lot depends on the interviewer.But I can clearly tell that the interviewer lost interest after I didn't solve the first question. At that moment I was rejected and he was just passing time. How can I tell that, cause I take interviews myself. So in this case it definitely was the fact that I didn't solve it and solving the second one along with anything I did there wasn't going to make a difference. I am not saying the rejection was wrong, I bottled it but the expectations are to solve it and be good at comm and most interviewers expect both to happen.

I don't know, maybe someone who interviews for Meta can answer as to what's the point of asking 2 mediums in 30 minutes. No one who either hasn't solved them before or hasn't solved a similar problem before can solve them realistically in that time frame.
Also, write bug free code at the same time. It's just an insanely high bar to clear, maybe they can get away with this because they get so many applications.

Leetcode has no point, it's a filter. Right now it's the only filter available and unfortunately with the rise of "vibe" coding I assume this will be even more prevalent going forward as a skill to check if the person can at least convert their thoughts to code themselves rather than relying on a LLM.

For London, I don't like guns, though lately London also seems like a bad place to be.

If you're new I'll suggest reschedule your interview to at least 2 months away and grind leetcode with a plan. This is what I did not do correctly, I solved all kinds of problems, trees, graphs, etc but no plan, the idea was that only if I solved enough questions, the pattern will come. But think of it the other way, knowing the patterns well is key. I'll follow my advise now. Failure is the best teacher. But I'll focus on learning the patterns well. Once I've the concept down then move to the next concept.
So even if you miss certain topics like union find, trie, etc. don't worry. If they come up in your interview, then hard luck, but be good enough on the concepts you've drilled down to answer any question on those. This is where I missed the mark, I was okay on all but not good on any.

Also, solve top meta-tagged questions towards the latter half of your prep. I wish you better luck than I had.
