It is funny, how 4 years ago I spent couple days on the 1 dp
problem and was not able to solve, but now, literally a matter of 5-10 mins in python.

This is literally just a matter of practice and pattern recognision, not that much of intelligence, if we are talking about easy/mid leetcode

The problem:

team synergy, 2 devs concurrently leaving same comment independently xD

I tried startups, and this is why I don't want to work on startups at all.
Only if there is big equity chunk - then it makes sense - otherwise - never.

Yeah, software engineering primarily needed to solve business problems, and stuff, but it is disgusting from dev exp. In early stages, if CEO/CTO is wise person - he/she will always push for results, not good code and practices. It means devs gonna poke around in shit until you become big enough when good eng practices make sense for reputation, stability, availability, etc

The other side of the coin is too old projects, when you are unable to change stuff, because it will break.
So IMO - the best project for dev experience is mature project, not "NEW", not "legacy", or your own side project that you do NOT for money.

So, let's stream a bit today?)) it is kind of final prep. I'm not oncall anymore, and I will tell you the story of the throttling, and how TO NOT do it :)

This stream I will not prep much. We will basically study. You can study with me. I would assume we can solve the leetcode 75 or random from top 100 liked qs.
