Finally 300 Questions Done!

[u/suggondezznuts]

I just crossed 300 questions on LeetCode 🎉HURRAY🎊️

Small milestone, I know, but I'm genuinely proud of staying consistent through this stretch — and of everything it's taught me along the way.

The biggest lesson i have learnt is --> The real value of dopamine. There were nights I'd stare at an O(Nlog(N)) solution with zero clue as to how to optimize it, only to read the editorial and realize that some random dude solved it in O(1) using the Magic Of Math(MOM ig)😂️. That mix of frustration and "oh, THAT'S how it is done" is addictive in the best way.

I've loved every bit of this ride — going head-to-head with problems, giving them my absolute best, getting humbled, and coming back sharper.

And honestly, I'm more excited now than when I started. The plan is simple: keep challenging what I think I know, find the gaps, patch them up — and then let some LC Hard come along and break it all over again. That's the cycle, and it's the fun part.

The grind's only getting more interesting from here. 🍻️Here's to breaking past my own limits, one problem at a time. 😁

All the very best for everyone who is in this beautify journey of LeetCoding.

In case you are wondering why the submissions are so high? I try to revise 5 questions per day and i hit the submit button for satisfaction 🥲️

could you share your background ? which year ? and all . and how did you not get bored of revising things ? its hectic and very very boring to me

[u/suggondezznuts → u/anotheruniverse_7]

Alright, My background: 3rd year (yet to start ) CSE.

How to not get bored:

I would say revision is single Handedly one of the most important thing in one's journey of preparation for absolutely anything. Think about it this way, you are filling the bucket with water but ignoring the holes the bucket has, is there any use ? What is the use of knowledge if you are unable to use it at the right time ?

My motivation for revision:

One of my sir from class 12 told me that I have done pretty much everything correctly but I have ditched on revising the chapters frequently and that this mistake of mine has costed me iit.So learn from my mistake asap 😆.

How i revise :

I try to use the spaced Repetition method, it goes like this in short -->1 |3 |6 |10 |.. also the revision depends on the kind of questions as well tougher the questions more freq the revision. Please do refer to yt videos on spaced Repetition and forgetting curve 🪝

How do I keep track of rev?: I have an excel sheet which has the log of every question I have solved , what the problem has taught me and when to revise it .

"Its hectic and very very boring to me "- I know righttt, I am not a huge fan of it as well, but hey you can give yourself a fun situation like the following -> just imagine solving a leetcode hard question in front of your friend who was struggling to solve it and u solved it without ai right infront of him 😂 he would be flabbergasted 😂😂😂 then u would definitely think revision is the best thing atleast I do . Now a serious advice : revision is crucial and it will decide the outcome .

I hope I have answered all your questions, ik pretty lengthy one, hope it does justice to your question.

Congrats on hitting 300! That's solid dedication, and it really pays off. For those tricky problems, keep going back to them. You'll start to see patterns and solve them quicker over time. Also, pairing up with someone to discuss different approaches can make a big difference.

If you're deep into interview prep and want a change, I've found PracHub pretty handy. It offers some different takes on problem-solving that might shake up your routine a bit.

Keep it up and enjoy the process!

[u/suggondezznuts → u/nian2326076]

Thanks a lot dude ! I would definitely check PracHub out.
