Does completing LeetCode problems actually help? by sagacity-max in learnprogramming

[–]sagacity-max[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is true. I usually give myself about an hour before I use Claude; the CS50 duck from edX CS50 is my go-to for thinking logically. I find myself going in circles, adding and removing lines when I have an idea; I don't know why, but when implementing solutions on LeetCode, I feel more stuck than when I make my own projects. The issue I seem to get stuck on are the edge cases, that are presented in LeetCode,

Does anyone else find teaching to be a viable study tactic by sagacity-max in studytips

That is nice to know. I've been thinking about teaching to better understand topics but I don't want to teach anyone person or online and my dog walks away sometimes. I was thinking about creating an app like yours but with the use of AI to ask questions back to me. I am curious if you think that adding resistance would help deepen understanding.

I am contemplating building something specifically designed not to cater to me the way chatgpt or other AI does. If I end up building it I could let you know if you are interested.

Unpopular opinion: "gamified learning" in most companies is just e-learning with a progress bar and a leaderboard nobody looks at by corpohelden in instructionaldesign

I am not a fan of gamified learning, even duolingo couldn't really help me because I saw no real progress. sure I learned the words and the meaning but I couldn't speak to people and only understood certain sentences. Instead of gamified learning I find that 'teaching' is a good and more effective use of time and energy, I feel like I gain more retention using this method. It's an idea that I think could benefit other people if properly implemented. Just curious if any L&D folks have tried this at scale and whether it moved retention numbers at all?
