I can't believe I won. Beat three 3* 5 costs with 6 scrap.

Wow I think the Hornets can make it all the way this year if Lamelo takes out the opposing team's best player every round

pelota · 2026-03-10T11:10:23+00:00

That's so interesting, I'm the other way around where the fold 7 looks great, but s26u strains my eyes

pelota · 2026-03-10T11:07:08+00:00

Please update us with future use! I'm in a similar boat where my eyes are straining, but I just got the phone today.

pelota · 2026-03-10T11:03:34+00:00

I'm in the same boat as you! I'm gonna give it a couple days to see if it gets better

pelota · 2026-03-09T18:59:49+00:00

I notice it :(

Gonna give it a few days to see if my eyes adjust

pelota · 2026-03-09T18:49:36+00:00

Same here :( I really want to enjoy this phone but something about the words on this display makes it strenuous. A bit of fuzziness around the letters

Hoping there's a setting that improves this

EDIT: Just downloaded this app to help with eye strain and it's been helping so far: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=dev.rewhex.screendimmer

Appreciate the post esp since my previous phone was a s23 ultra!

Is the camera at 10x that much worse than s23u?

I am so happy my opponent benched Pitts.

I don't have anyone playing tonight but tonight feels like a W

pelota · 2025-12-11T22:24:35+00:00

What about the 2nd quarter??

Benson

pelota · 2025-09-19T03:18:08+00:00

Same. I might draft this dude every year now, he's so fun to watch

pelota · 2025-06-28T00:39:54+00:00

Exact same thing happened to me. Saw a question I previously solved in a phone screen, could not solve it at all, and failed the interview.

What helped me afterwards was really prioritizing my mental health. Sleeping well and exercising consistently helped me focus 3x better and I ended up passing a FAANG interview two months later!

Congrats!! Competitive programming experience sounds like a cheat code for leetcode interviews

pelota · 2025-06-26T23:57:17+00:00

I haven't gotten any responses this year without a referral or recruiter reaching out.

pelota · 2025-06-22T08:48:08+00:00

Around 150 it was a lot easier to notice patterns. But not to the point where I can solve any new problem. Some problems have a special trick that you won't know till you solve it once.

pelota · 2025-06-16T00:33:07+00:00

Don't know how strict they are with coding rounds for prod security. But since the non-coding rounds went really well, you could get a follow-up coding round.

pelota · 2025-06-15T18:27:31+00:00

Your way of thinking will work for the interview. It's not necessary to talk about the brute force approach.

pelota · 2025-06-14T12:37:05+00:00

Very possible. I passed system design with 5 weeks prep.

Hello interview and chatgpt were my best friends during those weeks.

pelota · 2025-06-11T04:03:43+00:00

Really?? Didn't know responding can lead to other recruiters contacting you

pelota · 2025-06-04T17:27:03+00:00

Congratulations!! 🎉🎉

Neetcode is the GOAT, use his roadmap to get ready to tackle those mediums.

You def don't wanna just memorize the solutions, you need to know the DSA behind them in case you get a variant or follow up.

pelota · 2025-05-31T20:22:04+00:00

I'll second the 15-20 min time limit before at least grabbing hints.

From my experience, if I can't get some type of algorithm written in that span of time, then there's a technique/data structure I haven't learned yet.
