I don’t get the obsession around leetcode, cracking FAANG/MAANG, there was a thread about indian SDEs who are mediocre in producing world class open source libraries. I actually completely agree. I will just give an example Grant Sanderson, maths youtuber, with a degree in maths can learn coding and write open source libraries with thousands of stars
There are a lot of ppl I have come across and worked with who suck at algo DS but when designing system do wonders, sometimes it comes naturally you don’t have to go through the grunt, I myself don’t know the name of any design patterns, but, when I look back i can see that my code is actually following some design pattern which is supposed to be used there
The people in my category just work, because we know we can’t clear those fancy ds interviews, they actually don’t spend time trying also because it’s probably not a concern or they scare failing or get comfortable in remain in comfort zone. I believe there are a lot of ppl out there who cant find an element in a sorted array but write great code.
Back in 2005-2010, when ppl had limited internet access joining MNCs and going on-site use to be benchmark, then came the startup boom paying higher salary, then came the inflated salary bubble and with covid and a little before came this leetcode and every one trying to join MAANG trend.
Aren’t there companies paying more then them and doing some kickass work out there, there are.
I can go on and on but will end it here, to everyone its own
Everyone talks about MAANG, I have friends working in all of them except space X, a lot of time they complain about getting to work on a small piece of a large project which might not even be significant to make a buzz on the coding bee inside them.
How many of you have actually worked and built systems which can(apt for interviews). I am talking in real world, is handling say 100-200K request per seconds. Maybe even more.
Not just some simple get requests fetching data from cache, maybe involving DB operations or lets say billions of events data ingestion like clevertap does
Bloody exactly. Koi nhin, ye trend bhi change krenge inshallah!
If true this is perfect. Workers must not behave like entrepreneurs. This whole desire driven, entrepreneurial thinking, should not be there for an employee. If anybody wants or desires to deliver solutions to a real world problem they should start their own business and do it. Now before anybody outrages on this comment, think of it with this example - you have a driver for your car. The driver needs to follow your instructions. He cannot simply say I will find a new path and take you to the destination. You can give your driver alittle leeway as to how to clean the car but not paint it. Driver should behave as a driver within his limits. Car owner has to behave like one within his limits.
Somewhat true.
But when shit hits the ceiling and your application cannot scale or run searches when user-base grows rapidly. That's when you need functional level LC fellas. Who can extract the extra juice for you.
It's not always that you can slap multi-threads, caching, powerful hardware bla bla to handle your increasing computation requirements. Most of the times, a shit sub-routine cucks the system.
If I were a senior architect 'who knew what I was doing', I'd take seasoned LC peeps over fast moving, fast breaking builders anyday. Lol. Seems like I've proved post's point 😭🤦🏻
Seize the moment, break the mold and build the future.

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 t...
I could solve general problems from arrays, trees, sorting and all. I would fail miserably when the interview goes in the direction of DP problems. After a point I realised it actually doesn’t matter, you will find enough places where yo...
Before you raise your pitchforks let me preface by saying that I am glad LC exists which has allowed me to basically double my comp in a very small time and I have seen many people able to make jumps into high paying jobs and bettering t...
Linkedin has become a place where people post about cracking tech interviews without any tech discussion. Every guy with or without MAANG gives guidance to clear interviews but none of them posts a single stuff about the tech itself. Cr...
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...
