My Last Day at Google 

You're the goat bro, I didn't realize at all you were indian

I'm gonna add you. :)

Followed! Truly your videos are an inspiration and I hope you keep doing what you’re doing!

Pls connect with me, i need the clout 🙏

I just added you in linked in..way to go bro 🙏..patience is the king 👑 🙏 -jaga

Hats off!! 🙌🏽

Nah no way 1.6k people liked in ONE DAY and NO ONE bothered to reply

-their pay Greg.

Yes

Yeah imposter syndrome is super prevalent in this industry because it heavily relies on community effort and 'copypasta code' where really it's the only sensible thing to do. NeetCode himself mentioned in another video that spending hours on a single problem amounts to nothing more than a waste of time. There's no invisible cosmic tribunal deducing points for searching for a solution or asking for help, it's simply working smarter and getting the result faster. This is something clients will appreciate and they won't care in the least if some menu or button is a premade library element or if someone wrote it from scratch.

I have a friend who works for Intel, and he holds a senior position as a software engineer. He struggles with the same imposter syndrome problem, and I wish he knew how much he deserves his position.

​@@jerbsherb4391 ahha I'm a hardware engineer for 7 years working on chip design. Recently I realized I'm pretty decent at what I do, it's just too segmented, too specialized. Tech will do that, put you in a bucket and it's up to you to constantly push for room to grow. I didn't realize it earlier because I just kept wishing and learning and hoping I'll be good at my role. But that just made me a good cog in the machine but did not help me grow. Because the imposter syndrome never goes away, there's always someone better than you at something but also weaker than you at other things. Someone better at data analysis with python, but doesn't know design pitfalls, someone knows how to draw layouts but doesn't know how to generate good timing data. If we all have the same skill set at the same level, why does the company need all of us, they just need one of us. Best way is to learn enough to do the job adequately, broaden your skills, keep an eye for networking and opportunities, have the big picture in mind and a goal, and the patience to keep moving forward step by step.

ByteByteGo, awesome seeing you here! You make some of the best system design content on RU-vid, and I love your book.

A collab please

two best channels for software enginners 😇 complementing each other.. great to see that

This comming from BBG is just the best comment and honest it can be!

I'm a little star-struck here. These two creators are the main reason I got a new job after being laid off of my software developer position earlier this year. Thank you both!!

Thanks Lucy! 🙂

Its neatcode today who knows may be neetcode

He should honestly just work for leetcode and help them desgin/make thorough material

@@Josh-lz9pd just bought the premium and was hoping the editorial would help, but still coming back here 😅

@@tian2339😂😂

Finally! 🎉

I think you build it up by going your way and witnessing that you are going to be ok. Avoiding to live your life proactively will only make you smaller day by day. I think this is called "self-efficacy". And it's strongly correlated to career and success in life.

​@@deltapi8859 i have heard similar. I'm curious if you heard this from someone else (if so, who?), or is this something you learned yourself?

​@@Ctrl_Alt_Elite I read it from Paula Capronis book. Read it in independent sources I can't remember. But definitely know that it is true from own experiences. Everything that made me turn my life around could be backtracked to a point where no body could help me with my stuff and me oddly being like "you know what, what if I" and engage in it. Unfortunately as an adult I've seen how it can look like if you let your self-efficacy deteriorate by going the "society sanctioned track" exclusively.

🥲

he had the skills first haha

100% agree, his videos are so refreshing

Yes someone has to be the one to make these questions crystal clear and easy for someone to learn and I think that person is him. Best explanations I’ve seen. Not everyone can make these questions digestible.

Bro just repeat answers on leetcode fourms. It's nothing special. He doesn't even use predicate calculus to explain logic or as a tool to solve leetcode

@@Soulixs If you want the math behind runtime analysis you need to do that on your own. That's what school or even coursera teaches you. His explanations would turn from concise into sprawling, at least doubling the time.

A legend appreciating another legend 🙌

Hi. Sorry dumb question. I want to call this function but i don't know how to. Would appreciate your help.( leetcode number of islands ii). Pls. class Solution(object): def numIslands2(self, n, m, positions): """ :type m: int :type n: int :type positions: List[List[int]] :rtype: List[int] """ def find(res, p): while p != res[p]: p = res[p] res[p] = res[res[p]] return p def connected(res, p, q): return find(res, p) == find(res, q) def union(res, p, q): pid = find(res, p) qid = find(res, q) res[pid] = qid res = [i for i in range(m*n)] visited = [0 for i in range(m*n)] out = [] grid = [[0]*m for i in range(n)] count = 0 counter = 0 for i, j in positions: counter += 1 index = i * m + j if visited[index] == 1: count -= 1 grid[i][j] = 1 queue = [index] while queue: temp = queue.pop(0) visited[temp] = 1 r = temp / m c = temp % m if r - 1 >= 0 and grid[r-1][c] == 1: if not connected(res, temp, ((r-1)*m+c)): union(res, temp, ((r-1)*m+c)) queue.append((r-1)*m+c) count -= 1 if r + 1 < n and grid[r+1][c] == 1: if not connected(res, temp, ((r+1)*m+c)): union(res, temp, ((r+1)*m+c)) queue.append((r+1)*m+c) count -= 1 if c - 1 >= 0 and grid[r][c-1] == 1: if not connected(res, temp, (r*m+c-1)): union(res, temp, (r*m+c-1)) queue.append(r*m+c-1) count -= 1 if c + 1 < m and grid[r][c+1] == 1: if not connected(res, temp, (r*m+c+1)): union(res, temp, (r*m+c+1)) queue.append(r*m+c+1) count -= 1 out.append(counter + count) return out m = 3 n = 3 positions = [[0,0],[0,1],[1,2],[2,1]]

😂 fellow unemployee😂

Me too hahha

Me too 😂

Me three, haha

That's a new term I learned ..

There are many Chinese streamers already doing it

@@anirbandas12 where can i find this

@@bree9895 ru-vid.comW77tXhVBQvY?feature=share

​@@anirbandas12Pls tell me more about this

​@anirbandas12 it always comes to this, huh? Indians vs Chinese😂

It's only fitting that he's Indian haha, all the best teachers on yt are.

What kind of company did you get into that required Leetcode? I heard a lot of places don't do Leetcode, or only ask easy questions.

@SK-fy8dl I mainly interviewed with FAANG and Unicorn startups in early 2022. Most traditional companies (defense, automotive, etc.) either don't ask leetcode or ask really easy questions. That said they also pay way less in most cases.

Neetcode's course vs Leetcode's course - which should I consider? im a begnner (just passed 100 qs)

relatable

True true true true

The god of the gods

I mean he looks Indian, but wouldn't be surprised if he is not.

​@@debakarr LMAO

🍠

Had to check if this was the real you for sec lol.. but appreciate it bro 🙂

It's your turn next to drop the face reveal boyalgo lol

ex-google, ex-facebook, ex-husband

​@@NeetCode lol that last part was brutal

Leetcode testing is just a gatekeeping mechanism to weed out the weak and only hire people who adamantly want to work at Google. Real-World Work is nothing like Leetcode. Learn and understand Design Patterns, Learn SQL and NO-SQL databases, Learn SOLID principles, Learn how to write Unit Tests that provide 100% code coverage, Learn how to take a bad piece of code an refactor it into a maintainable and extensible code base. Learn how to write asynchronous and multi-threaded code .. and this will help you understand later how to scale a system composed of cloud services.

Actually, screw web dev, it's the worst thing you can do to yourself. (considering it is JavaScript ofcourse) Every single day, you'll be waking up to some new shit that broke the older shit, so now you have to learn the newer shit to update the older shit, it is a journey where you'll never feel like you're grasping anything because you'll be moving so fast with the ecosystem that at one point, you won't even know where you'stand. The whole JS ecosystem needs to disintegrate and never appear on the face of the earth.

@@DrDemolition Truer words have never been spoken!

​@@DrDemolition As a CS student, in his 2nd year, I have done enough leetcode and DSA. I wanna learn development and maybe make open source contributions. My main target is not to land a job but to learn in CS as much as I can simply because I love coding, or so far atleast. What field do you recommend I get into, if not web dev. I have dabbled in Machine Learning and Tensorflow.

​@@DrDemolition you right 😢 , do you have any advice for us

We all did 🤣🤣

same,,,

haha, deepfake is working!

Dang he Indian 🤯

he is indian, A few months ago he visited india and posted a picture on his second channel.

He's looks white. Indians are brown

He is an American Indian, you idiots stop jumping on India India bandwagon and focus on what he is teaching else you will be jobless forever without improvement.
