the point is not the speed, but the brainspace. the brainspace I would have used on this task would have tired me out quicker and prevented me from making progress on other tasks. ChatGPT is literally 0 brain space for these simple tasks. I

Thanks! I was contacted by a recruiter couple years ago and they sent me the practice list, but it seemed super generic and intimidating so I never replied back. I've heard really good things about CTCI so I'll pick that up. Havin
