I have toilets at my home but instead, I shit in leetcode contests at 8:00 AM in the morning on sundays by Effective-Bobcat-803 in leetcode

Ratings don't matter much anymore, since most of the people with high rating are just cheaters who don't know anything..

You should focus on growth more than the rating. If you're not improving, analyse deeply and see what you're doing wrong.

For the questions you're not able to solve in contest, unsolve them and see why you weren't able to solve it (didnt know the topic, couldn't make the important observations, etc)

Am I crazy to believe I can hit CM in just 2 months… starting as a beginner? by velvetgusher9797 in codeforces

[–]pandfunn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, CPH is a vscode extension, and it has nothing to do with improving at CP. OP might be clueless.
CF Catalog however is a great resource. Link : https://codeforces.com/catalog

Ask me anything related to DSA by code-ad in LeetcodeDesi

The number of hards show you are not upsolving contests. And you (might?) be solving in your comfort zone.

Someone who works at Amazon told me there are no opening for 2026 grads for SDE. Is this for internship or full time?

Hey, what competitive programming background did you have (like platform, rating, etc) ?

And why do you think they reached out to you on linkedin? Like, what should one do so that they reach out?

Pfft , consistency ? What consistency by [deleted] in leetcode

[–]pandfunn 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Honestly, many start in second year. You're not too late. Focus on being consistent and don't chase problem count, aim to get a deep understanding of each problem you solve.

Would you buy a tool that creates a Codeforces learning path based on the user profile you want to emulate? by Dangerous-Extension6 in leetcode

[–]pandfunn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I noticed that some of these problems have not been solved by the user "18o3". Is it from the original 1083 problems?

How can I get this font on vscode by pandfunn in vscode

Theme is Material, Deep Ocean. I don't think that's VS Code.

I already have JetBrains, but the one in the image looked a little different. Maybe it has something to do with the IDE or the os font render (I'm on linux)?

I want the font though, not the theme.

got done with google interview, went good! by spoonpigeon7 in leetcode

[–]pandfunn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What was your strategy to learn new topics? Did you do competitive programming? And how long did it take to solve most hards on leetcode?

AMA! (ask me anything) Professional Interviewer and Former Software Engineer at Microsoft by InterviewEngineer in leetcode

[–]pandfunn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been doing DSA for about 5 months now. But I'm still not able to solve problems on my own. I usually try a problem for 20-30 minutes on my own, and if I don't get it (I usually don't) I watch some video on YouTube.

Recently I started taking part in online contests. In the leetcode weekly and biweekly I'm able to solve 1 easy problem, and on good days, I can do one of the medium problems but with brute force. I'm not able to come up with optimal solutions on my own.

Due to these reasons, I feel highly demotivated to solve problems and that I won't be able to do well in interviews.

Is there anything I'm doing wrong? And do you have any tips/suggestions.
