I made two videos for people who are newbies right now. I said everything I tell my students to grow and get out of newbie. These are the things that I did myself as well, and around 4 months after being a newbie, I got rank 4 in a div 2 contest. This is the first video on this topic. I highly encourage you to do these things if you are a Newbie right now!

If you like these kinds of videos, let me know what helps you the most, and I’ll try to make more videos on those topics next.
