I've been in the industry for about 10 years. Like I said, it's more about limbering up my brain. I have a good time with it, and usually learn some new things. Memorization is pointless, so I try to solve new and interesting problems rather than re-implementing the same old data structures and algorithms every time.
To be sure, some people take it too far. The "four months" figure does not come from me.

- bquinlan 10y agoI wanted to learn Rust but didn't have a good project in mind. So I solved a bunch of interview problems: https://github.com/brianquinlan/learn-rust https://github.com/brianquinlan/learn-rust Solving those problems gave me a reason to touch lots of parts of the language and was also intellectually interesting. See, for example: https://github.com/brianquinlan/learn-rust/tree/master/i18n https://github.com/brianquinlan/learn-rust/tree/master/i18n
- dominotw 10y agoThis is awesome. Learning Rust is also one of my goals. This is pretty great for comparing my solutions.
