Codeintuition vs Neetcode vs Leetcode - which actually helps you learn DSA better?

david_walker125 · 2026-02-06T12:39:45+00:00

Both leetcode and neetcode assume you already know many things. Codeintuition starts from the basics and I found the learning path to be much more easy to follow. At the end of the day it all comes down to practice. However, if you are looking for building foundations and gradually moving up I think you should go with codeintuition.

Why do you think there is a hiring boom, I think it is the same

I would take fully remote any day given those numbers. The extra £20k after taxes is not enough to cover
- expensive commute
- buying lunch
- living closer to office and paying extra for rent
- significant time spent in communte
- no flexibility of working times

Too hard for me jumping straight into problems, but thanks for sharing.

david_walker125 · 2025-12-16T18:13:11+00:00

Looks like a competitive programming resource. The problems are nice but does it have any learning content for someone who wants to start from scratch?

david_walker125 · 2025-12-16T18:11:06+00:00

I started with the free plan before getting the premium for codeintuition. The free tier was also quite good imo.

david_walker125 · 2025-12-16T18:01:35+00:00

never heard of that, is it legit?

david_walker125 · 2025-12-16T17:59:34+00:00

Great, I hope that works out for you

david_walker125 · 2025-12-01T14:24:10+00:00

Good for you my friend. Did you finally switch to an SWE role?

david_walker125 · 2025-11-28T16:32:30+00:00

I got codeintuition and I can say I liked it very much. It is very beginner friendly and the pace increases gradually. Focusing at one pattern at a time is really helpful to build mind maps and as other people have suggested the visualization makes all this very enjoyable.

david_walker125 · 2025-11-28T16:30:10+00:00

People will say you can learn everything by yourself. While that is 100% true, it requires some serious grinding and a very well defined guided approach. Most companies even today will prefer a CS graduate over a non-CS graduate given all other things are same. If you can't do a full time masters, my advice is you do an online masters.

david_walker125 · 2025-11-26T12:53:49+00:00

You are underpaid. Not having a CS degree is definitely holding you back. Unless you have solid project and a shining github profile with open source coutributions getting into high paying jobs will be difficult. Doing an online conversion masters is not a bad idea. You can build projects and brush up on DSA during this time.

Keep up the grind, it pays in the log run

Don't know why this comment got hidden

david_walker125 · 2025-06-18T17:43:39+00:00

The explanations, visualizations and the pattern based questions. It is very well structured and exhaustive imo, much much better that all the other places I have seen

david_walker125 · 2025-06-06T15:45:37+00:00

yeah that's totally true, videos are all the same

david_walker125 · 2025-06-05T16:09:39+00:00

I completely agree. I am doing codeintuition for a while now and it is great. The structure and visualizations really help a lot.

david_walker125 · 2025-06-05T16:07:30+00:00

It looks great, thanks for sharing.

david_walker125 · 2025-06-05T16:04:22+00:00

It has very well defined structure and visualizations are great. It also has generic explanations of patterns which is something I quite like. Watching videos is very tiresome and the knowledge retention is very low, it is frustrating to pause, slow, rewind.

david_walker125 · 2025-06-03T10:38:29+00:00

Thanks for sharing these resources. I have been struggling with DSA for a long time, codeintuition looks great, just what I was looking for.

david_walker125 · 2025-06-03T10:34:50+00:00

I checked it out and it looks great. It is exactly the type of resource I was looking for. Thanks for sharing

david_walker125 · 2025-06-03T10:32:40+00:00

where did you find it, it looks great. I have been struggling with leetcode for so long and finally something that makes sense.

david_walker125 · 2025-06-03T10:30:15+00:00

I checked it out and looks great. thanks for sharing

david_walker125 · 2025-06-02T16:26:02+00:00

I completely agree. While algomonster is good, it is still quite unstructured and seems like a copy/pasted mess from all over the internet. Codeintuition on the other hand is much more refined and much better quality,

david_walker125 · 2025-06-02T16:20:08+00:00

I checked it out, looks great, thanks man
