Why Leetcode is so Hard

When I started leetcoding, even the easy problems were really difficult for me. Over the course of a few months and after solving over 300 problems, I developed a system for how to solve a vast majority of the problems I've come across. Here's my system explained!

pov: opened leetcode, stared at problem for 30 minutes, opened youtube tab - got your video in fyp >_>

Great video, bro. LeetCode and these kinds of problems aren't just blockades for those young folks just getting started... For some of us that may have worked at a company for 6, 8, 15 years and want to shift companies, we haven't seen this kind of stuff in maybe 15+ years! Since not every type of programmer or engineering role deals with a LeetCode style problem. There's so many fields of expertise. I'm currently going back through the gauntlet now.

Leetcode is not that hard. But during leetcode contests, question 3 and 4 are what test your knowledge, hard!!

I am not that GREAT at solving DSA. But I really want to be good in DSA. I want to be reach the level when I won't hesitate or stress out becoz I never saw the problem. I will get there eventually. Doesn't matter if I am in the IT INDUSTRY or not. It is something which I really want to excel.
