The people who are good at algorithms are grinders. There is a tiny percentage of geniuses who don't need to grind algorithms. The rest of the people who were good at algos before leetcode became widespread were also grinders
In fact this is how you become "smart" - some talent and a lot of hard work (grind)
- JohnFen 3y ago> In fact this is how you become "smart" - some talent and a lot of hard work (grind) Hmm. I think this is a different definition of "smart" than I'm used to. I would say that some talent and a lot of hard work gets you "skilled", not necessarily "smart".
- ativzzz 3y agoThere are many different types of intelligences or smarts Skill is a form of "functional intelligence", where skill = talent + grind. The more talent, the less you need to grind, but combined the two are killer. To me, "smart" where the grind is 0 is not "smart", but just "lucky" (born with talent)
