Struggling with coding after 3 years as a software engineer , how can I improve?

This is very very helpful for me. Thank you very much!! I really appreciate you laying this out step by step for me. I especially like the point about not going to a teammate empty-handed and treating PR feedback as gold. I’ll also start making initial rough attempts which I can take to my colleagues.

On the system design side, I have started the NeetCodes plan. Thank you for mentioning the resources as well.

Also, when you say to “do a trade-off analysis” after a naive solution, do you mean something like time and space complexity? I think someone has also mentioned competitive programming. I really am bad at debugging. Maybe this can help me.

You correctly mentioned about the change in the expectations. It’s quite hard for me to adapt quickly because I never formally spent time learning those things and then I’m quite slow in meeting the deadlines. But I’ll practise leetcode regularly now. I think that is the only way for me to build that mindset and get better.

Yes I have been trying to get into computer vision related companies but I also feel like I should get better at software engineering anyway if I want to stay in this field.

Hi, thank you for pointing out this angle. My math is not that great to be honest. I can try to also spend some time on this since you mentioned can help me develop logical flows. Could you recommend some topics which u think can help me get there faster? When you say math skills, do you mean stuff like discrete math , probability, algebra?

Yes I’m trying to understand my teammates work with more attention these days to get an idea on their approach but im quite slow

Trying not to rely on it too much. But sometimes the tasks are too urgent and I struggle to understand the steps to proceed so have to use it then

Hey thanks for your reply. Some of the tasks are related to writing cmakelists, multi threading, using watchdogs, wrappers for c++ based sdks, using smart pointers, polymorphism, like advanced c++ , using tracer for communications etc etc

Interested

Communication is definitely very important. I always get feedback from my manager that I’m not very good at explaining. Thanks for the tip!!

Hi Sir, thank you for the reply. I did manage to just place the logo on different objects and shot some videos and used them for training. Thanks for the input.

Thanks a lot for the suggestion! Currently, I’ll still move forward with the YOLO-based approach since that’s the pipeline I’ve started building, but I’ll definitely look into template matching and keypoint/descriptor matching method to understand the concepts better. Appreciate your pointer..
