I can barely finish a leetcode hard in a few hours, let alone something I would call a project. Still, this is an inspiring approach to tackling day to day work in incremental micro-projects.
- dysoco 4y agoPersonally I find leetcode boring because it's not something that would motivate you to see finished; it doesn't have a "real" purpose, maybe trying to build something concrete (a little game, a little web app, whatever) might bring more motivation.
- adhesive_wombat 4y agoSame for me. All these things like Project Euler leave me cold: I'd rather learn something new on the way to a tangible endpoint, even if it's a janky PoS that I never look at again and lose when I don't bother to copy it to a new hard drive.
- hinkley 4y agoSo far my experience with leetcode is that it is asking me over and over again to implement binary search of arrays (which is the wrong solution 95% of the time) and it wants, to charge me money for a debugger, and I have to write my own unit test framework from scratch if I want to avoid a debugger. Everything that’s wrong with interviews, with rent seeking as the cherry on top. I haven’t tried hard yet but I’m bracing for a shitshow.
