I'm not at the level of a FB Senior SWE, but how does one do anywhere from 1-5 chapters of CLRS each day? Doing a single chapter of CLRS would take me multiple days.
Is it that I'm just that far off from the level of a senior SWE? Can most of the experienced, talented programmers here cover multiple chapter problem sets of CLRS in a day?
- almog 6y agoExactly so, if they can actually read, understand, internalize and apply the dense content that CLRS delivers, 5 chapters a day (and mind you, he mentioned some of the more dense chapters in one of these 5 chapters days), that would have made for a much more interesting post. I would never recommend anyone to try and read CLRS in two weeks, or even a month. Even if you could do that, I think it would be much better to get through a chapter then try to apply the algorithms of that chapter to Leetcode/Codeforces question and cycle through the subjects as you advance through the book in a spaced repetition technique. For me and for many other people the linear approach for studying that they suggest is far from ideal.
