Leetcode

Why it worked

The video uses humor and relatable memes (Spongebob, Wojak) to illustrate the common struggle of solving coding problems, making the advice about efficient learning methods more engaging and shareable.

Summary

The video humorously suggests that instead of struggling with Leetcode problems for hours, users should watch solution videos, learn common patterns, and use spaced repetition techniques to solve problems faster. It contrasts the traditional approach with a more efficient method for aspiring CS majors.

Structure

1Struggling with Leetcode problems
2Watching solution videos
3Learning patterns and using spaced repetition
4Becoming faster than others
5Targeting CS majors without internships

Product placement

The video discusses and implicitly promotes Leetcode as a platform for practicing coding problems, suggesting methods to "speedrun" it.

Leetcode 10/10 ways to LARP Leetcode (progressively niche) trying to solve for 10 minutes spending another 30 minutes solving it you still can't solve it some genius dedicated 10 years of his life with a solution to do it in one sitting instead you should watch a video of the solution and the explanation and come back fresh later random questions learn these 15 easy patterns I'm about to exact problem set to speedrun this BAD 150 BETTER 75 GOAT 50 BAD BETTER GOAT than everyone else keeping a solution tracker plus spaced repetition plus FSRS forgetting curve method = forgetting a single solution there is a CS major with no internship that you can send this to

00:00 LARP 00:01 LARP coding, but it gets progressively more niche. 00:03 trying to solve 00:04 for 10 minutes, 00:05 spending another 00:06 30 minutes solving it. 00:07 you still can't solve it. 00:08 some genius dedicated 00:09 10 years of his life 00:10 with a solution 00:11 to do it in one sitting. 00:12 Instead you should 00:13 watch a video of 00:14 the solution 00:15 and the explanation 00:16 and come back fresh later. 00:17 Stop doing random questions. 00:18 Learn these 15 easy patterns. 00:20 I'm about to 00:21 exact problem set 00:22 to speedrun this. 00:23 Neetcode 150 00:24 BAD. 00:25 75 BETTER. 00:26 Pareto set, GOATED. 00:27 Now you can be 00:28 than everyone else. 00:30 keeping a solution tracker 00:31 plus spaced repetition 00:32 plus FSRS 00:33 forgetting curve method 00:34 equals never forgetting a single solution. 00:36 There is a CS major 00:37 with no internship 00:38 that you can send this to.
