    Here is my Notion Template: www.notion.so/Coding-Problem-d8ad5d8e763345ca99ad7ab3af9ec2ff
    A word on this though, this is a bit more complicated than what I mentioned in the video. If you build a list of coding problems using this template, as you work on the problems and give yourself a time and a score, it will calculate a SR_Score value, and if you sort the list in descending order based on the property, it will automatically bubble up your worst problems on the top. Hope this makes sense.
    Do NOT edit SR_Score, C_Date, C_Solution and C_Time -- those are filled out manually based on other values you update.
    Also, here is the entire workspace with 200+ carefully picked questions and all the various boards: www.notion.so/de7d8005cd3749b2a1c5f995b4a92bba?v=00b004e1ba144d84a7f207cd30d2fa0d
    I made these a while ago, I am sure it can be updated to a more robust version based on some of Notion's newer features.
    Cheers!

    This channel is awesome, I have been a software engineer for two years now since I finished school and I can tell when someone has actually worked in the industry vs someone who does projects on the side and makes a living on RUclips. Either is fine but for me personally nothing beats experience in the industry, your channel is great thank you for posting all this awesome information

    Just to understand and reclarify: the idea is the use any of resources mentioned under resources section to apply during step2: " Review Data Structures and Algorithm" @10:16. That means to say " element of programming interview book + online sources like " educative" is mostly to help to prepare and get acquainted with topics , but not practice?? For practice purpose we use either leetcode or Algo expert?

  • @TheRn35

    1. Do you recommend learning the techniques listed at 18:15 before jumping into the problems? Or, discover them as you solve the problems?
    2. Do you recommend husting through and "re-inventing" these techniques on your own or just simply learn them and focus more on applying them? For example, I can learn the sliding window technique beforehand and apply or re-invent the technique while solving some problem?

    hands down this is the most thorough guide ever. I have spent a lot of money on the prepping materials and nobody ever mentioned about consistent tracking process and spaced repetition. Many simply just jumped to pattern recognition. Arriving at pattern recognition stage should not be magical. Now I have bridged the gap. Thank you Utsav!

    Sir, I have been working as a support engineer for 13 years and got very sick of it. Its a soul crushing experience where you are treated like you are nothing. I started to solve problems to get into my dream career of becoming a programmer. I solved about 170 leetcode problems, but then i found myself COMPLETELY lost on where to go from there. What strategy to follow, what is next.
    I bumped into this video , and I am thinking this will change my life forever. I thank you very much for taking time to compile the workspace that you shared all for free.
