I came back to this video to thank you. A week ago, I applied to an entry-level python job and I managed to land an interview with the company. They asked me the classic questions like "What are your weaknesses", etc, and I was bombing so hard because I wasn't confident. But then, the magical moment came. They asked me to plan out a program to invert a binary tree on a whiteboard. Thankfully, I watched this video and was able to complete the task flawlessly. The recruiter was so impressed that he recommended that I work in a senior position instead of an entry-level one. Long story short, I ended up becoming the youngest CEO of a Fortune 500 company. Thank you, Ben Awad!

When you need to do some specific optimizations with your own for loop, this is the key why those questions are designed. Many terrible/slow apps have some filter(map()) like combination code to deal with some simple problem behind the scene, end up has O(n^2) - O(n^3) without concern.
