It’s not about the badge. It’s about the discipline. 💎
In software engineering, there are two types of problem solvers:
1. Those who hack together a solution until it works.
2. Those who design solutions that scale.
DSA shapes you into the second type.
It trains you to think about edge cases, to respect time and resource constraints, and to develop the patience required to find optimal solutions to real-world problems.
A computer—just bare metal—doesn’t have a brain.
Algorithms are how we give it a mind.
They allow machines to solve the hardest problems in the most optimized way possible.
For those in college or just starting their careers:
Don’t treat DSA like a subject to pass and forget.
Treat it as a foundation of software engineering.
Programming languages (JS, Python, Rust, etc.) will evolve and change.
The problem-solving mindset you build with DSA stays with you forever.
Keep grinding.
Those green dots represent your consistency. 🟢
