[nicholaskhami]

UT Austin sophomore CS student, full time SWE intern. Jesus christ I hate competitive programming though. It's the goddam worst. Growing in skill is all about spending time on leet and memorizing algos.

Just do goddam projects! You'll learn way way way way way more!!!

How could someone do a competition if they still don’t know how to code?
