   Thanks for buying it and mentioning this. You are right that the current checker is still too strict about matching my variable names and structure, and that is not where I want it to stay. I am working on a Python validator that compares t

   That is fair. I went with Google first because it let me ship the first version quickly, but for a tool aimed at developers GitHub and simple email sign in make much more sense. I am working on both and plan to let people move their account

   Good point, and that matches other feedback I am seeing. You are right that in the current version the checker is still too literal about names and structure. In two sum for example it nudges you toward my map name instead of letting you us

   Thank you, I really appreciate you signing up. I agree with you on pattern recognition. AlgoDrill is built around taking patterns people already understand and turning them into something their hands can write quickly under pressure. You re

   Nice comparison. It is pretty similar in spirit to the woodpecker method. In chess you repeat the same positions until the patterns feel automatic. Here it is LeetCode problems. You keep seeing the same core patterns and rebuild the solutio

   I mostly agree that the interview format itself is strange. I do not think people should be judged mainly on how many patterns they can recall on command. The reality for a lot of candidates is that they still face rounds that look exactly
