What are alternates to leetcode?- Grapevine

Found these 2 unique websites to try and practice coding.

Project Euler- Mostly mathematical questions but mind blowing.

Rosalind - Bioinformatics based but helpful for all engineers.

Please share your views and other alternate platforms if aware.

How much time does it take to learn SQL since it is required everywhere for data science jobs.

Hello I'm 22F a 4th year student from a tier 3 college. I got placed on campus in a very small scale startup for 6.5 lpa but the internship period was of 9 months at 15k per month in blr. Now they have announced that they won't be giving PPO to us. My internship is ending in March 2024 before that I need to get into a new job. But all the openings are low paying i.e. 3 or 4lpa jobs and I'm in doubt with my DSA skills. I need someone who can mentor me on this path. I've worked on mostly Java, Springboot, Automation testing and C++. 
How should I prepare along with my internship in this 2 months?

Hello awesome Devs!!

How do you keep up the motivation to grind leetcode after a regular job? For example, I am a software developer with 1 YOE and I find it boring to continue with those algorithm problems after a certain threshold. 

But anyway, I feel the hiring process is still the same for most and there would at least 2 DSA rounds for most of the product based companies.

How do you keep up the motivation for this?

Motivation for leetcode

LeetCode is a psyop designed by Big Tech to hire rule-followers who can grind away at pointless tasks

Ok... Hear out my use case before you answer. The TnC and EULA say that the content of leetcode is theirs and we may not publish it.

That being said, the same freaking questions pop up all over Codechef, CodeForces, InterviewBit, Algoexpert and Neetcode. The last of which is declared to be a leetcode clone since its inception.

I don't want to create a leetcode clone and I don't want to solve their 3k+ problems. 500+ is mind boggling as is.

That being said, I pay 10k to leetcode every time there is a panic about job security. It has happened twice since COVID 19 days. I thought that if I could scrape the ones I did and a few I plan to learn (maybe a blog where I can post solutions so that I can revisit later), there could be no harm. I fricking paid for it after all.

Web scrapers are notorious because they leave a fingerprint. So, I thought it's best to take my time to copy a couple of questions everyday. Day 11 and I'm tired of doing this manually. So... Any suggestions as to how I can scrape the data ethically?

Furthermore, what falls under fair use and what constitutes as copyrighted data if I created a blog from these?

Leetcode scraping legal/illegal

I see some companies (especially famous ones) are still obsessed over these leetcode type questions in interview rounds even for experienced folks, it’s frustrating.

Is grinding leetcode still necessary ?

I have always wanted to prepare DS/Algo like a pro, but have barely survived with my basic skills of that.
How can I do it the right professional way, in a way that makes SDE interviews for Google level easy. 
I have a problem of not being disciplined to grind Leetcode. 
Should I join these coaching classes like Coding Ninja, Scaler and guilt my self into discipline because of money?
Any books?
I know concepts, I just want structure in my prep.

Software Test - QA

I am not sure but how every influencers have faced everything in their life.
From being yelled by professors in front of whole class to going on foreign trip for first time after they became an influencer.

And all influencers are from tier-3 college, and everyone think going to college is waste and everyone needs to do remote jobs and leetcode.

PS: also saw an influencers who wrote he traveled by train for first time in life in 2022 (his 4th year of college)

Just like Dev's use leetcode to practice for coding rounds,Which platform provides best preparation platform for PM interviews

Leetcode Parallel for PM's

Hello 👋 
I am aiming for a job at FAANG, I have never done DSA or CP, I was/am more into system design and just building stuff, now that I have decided on FAANG, I am starting to learn DSA (thinking about solving leetcode Q's in golang). 

Those who made it into FAANG, please share learnings/resources

Recently I attended the interview, I feel dumb after I missed finding the another simple approach for popular 2Sum problem. I solved it anyway. 
Confidence broken. Your tips are appreciated.

How do you people start DSA practice again after a 3 month gap?

I'm a 4th year student from a pvt college. Did 3 internships, one in a decacorn, one in a unicorn. Have an offer from Amazon for SDE 1 when i graduate, and one from the company I'm working at right now. Reached so far only with development skills, projects, hackathon wins and OSS contributions.

My leetcoding and competitive coding skills are downright garbage. I have absolutely no motivation to become a leetcode monkey and get more offers, but given the current market scenario, seems hard to get good offers without mugging up  800 leetcode questions.

Folks in software engineering who made it with leetcode, how did you do it, and what did you do to kill that builder urge and mug up leetcode. I can't do this anymore.

No motivation to do Leetcode

I am a front end developer with a workex of 2.5 years. I am planning for a switch. I am not good at DSA. I have heard that to get a job at a big company you need to have a strong hold on DSA. What are some of the best resources to start DSA prep?

Best sources for DSA

been leetcoding on and off for 2 months now, and even today ive to see solution for most of the questions. idk where im doin wrong (final year undergrad) . welp
