Day 36 and 37 🚀
Today I took a break from the LeetCode grind to attend the AfroChain Hackathon, held at the Science Museum on October 4–5.

The experience was far beyond what I expected — I met some truly amazing people with inspiring ideas and innovations. It was my first-ever hackathon, and I’m so grateful to have had this opportunity.

Special thanks to the AfroChain Hackathon organizers for making it all possible! 🙌
Day 37 🌙

Back from the hackathon and back to the grind! 💻 I’ve been hitting LeetCode again, and luckily, classes haven’t started yet — a golden opportunity for hustlers like me to push harder.

My October plan was to stay consistent for 25+ day, but honestly, I slipped in the first 4 days 😅. Still, I managed to pull through and hit my max streak of 26 days this month! Not perfect, but definitely progress. 🚀

Which is harder for you: debugging or thinking of the approach?
For me, thinking of the approach takes 80% of the time 😅
Day 38 🚀
Some days are about results.
Others are just about showing up and keeping the streak alive.
Either way — still on the DSA grind ⚡️
3 AM , laptop open, Python running, and me realizing I just missed a semicolon 😭
Me: I’ll just solve one easy problem today
Asymptotic Analysis: Bruh, think about input size… not your laziness 😅
Day 39 [ REFUSE TO QUIT ]🚀

It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say I’m feeling better than anyone else in the world right now! 😎 Today was intense—full of learning, exploring, showing up, and practicing.

Believe it or not… I solved 9 LeetCode problems in just a few hours, and that feels amazing.  Fully vibing with the Abrehot Library night grind, focusing for up to 8 hours straight —pure bliss.

I know I’m not the typical nerdy CS/SE student—just a “dumb” civil engineering guy, but mark my words… that won’t stop me with God’s help, I’ll create something insane in the future.

Have a great weekend, guys!

Have A blessed Sunday guys 😊
Day 40 🚀

Another day, same hustle. Dug into GeeksforGeeks, exploring different topics, breaking down concepts. Hit LeetCode too—submitted questions, tested myself, learned from mistakes. Slow and steady, one problem at a time.
The grind feels long, but every bit of effort is stacking.
Day 41 — Two Pointer Basics 🚀
Today I learned the core idea behind the Two Pointer technique — how using two moving pointers can make some problems way faster (O(n) instead of O(n²)).

Just focused on understanding how the pointers move (left–right, slow–fast) and when to use each pattern.
Can’t wait to start solving real problems with it soon

Day 42 — Still Showing Up 💭

Today felt like walking through fog.
My head was heavy, my body weak — being sick made even two lines of code feel impossible. But somehow, I pushed through and solved two LeetCode problems.

Then I heard that A2SV’s in-person program at AAiT might be paused… and that one hit deep.

For a moment, I questioned everything — the grind, the path, the dream.
I used to believe there was only one way and i was also preparing on this way .
DSA → CP → A2SV → Silicon Valley.

Guys TBH I was not good at problem solving but joined the world of CP just by the hope of A2SV.


But life keeps reminding me and I realized — there are many ways to grow, many ways to win. not just like Someone else"

What matters most is persistence.
It’s showing up, even when everything in you says “not today.”

Still showing up. Still learning. Still believing.

Day 43 [New Content Idea for the Future] 🚀

Today was awesome!

I Solved the 3 Sum problem
Dived deep into 2-pointer techniques

Explored the world of content creation
Here’s my new plan: I’m going to launch Digital Grind Weekly Reports—not just text, but well-organized, amazing summaries to track my progress and share insights with you all. I’ll announce it here on the channel when it’s ready.

Until then… let’s keep grinding! 💪🔥
Me: writing the 3 Sum algorithm
Also my dirty brain: “Who named this? 😁

Day 44 🚀
I don’t know why, but Saturdays always hit different — there’s just this special grinding energy that kicks in out of nowhere 😅. Sundays, on the other hand, are my official sleeping days.
Anyway, I’m happy with this weekend — managed to solve 5 problems in total!
Also, I discovered a super helpful resource for my LeetCode journey: algomaster.io
It literally has solutions for almost every LeetCode problem in multiple languages, with clear video explanations organized by topic. Definitely worth checking out if you’re serious about leveling up. 🔥

Day 45 🚀
So today, I hit a little roadblock on LeetCode — too many submissions errors 😅. I thought, why not try Codeforces for the first time? Big mistake… the problems there are wild: ‘Given n numbers and m operations with weird constraints… find something modulo 99824453.’ My brain basically gave up 😂.

Honestly, here’s what I realized: HackerRank is perfect if you want to learn, LeetCode is for mastering, and Codeforces… well, only for when you’re ready to compete.

Anyway, back on LeetCode,
Started learning Sliding Window & managed to solve 3 problems.
Feeling good, and the grind never stops 🔥

Day 46 🚀

Today was one of those “small wins” days. Didn’t solve a huge number of problems, but I learned something new about optimizing my solutions. Tried Codeforces when LeetCode gave me too many submission errors — honestly, it felt refreshing to switch platforms.

Solved 3 problems
Learned a new optimization trick
Felt that grind energy coming back

Sometimes it’s not about how many problems you solve, but how much you understand. Switching gears when stuck actually helped me see solutions clearer.
When you’re super confused about a concept and ask GPT for help…

“Beautiful thinking 👏 — that’s exactly how top problem solvers reason.”

Bruh 💀 I’m not reasoning, I’m suffering 😭

Day 47 🚀

This week I’ve been a little too relaxed 😅 — since classes haven’t fully started, I kept making excuses and kept pushing Monday’s tasks all the way to today.

Now everything has piled up… and unless God helps me, this weekend might drive me crazy 😭

Here’s what I’ve got lined up before Monday:
🎨 Drawing assignment and Quizzes
💻 Side hustle work
🙏 Church (learning + praying)
👩‍👦 Meeting my mother
🧺 Washing clothes (Saturday's Vibe )
🧩 DSA grind
🌐 Web dev learning

But hey — I still managed to solve 1 problem today just to keep the streak alive 🔥

Let’s see if I can pull all of this off before Monday
Final report dropping Monday, stay tuned  😁
