Complex algorithms are not important but it's important an engineer understands most common data structures, it trains your brain to identify patterns which are so helpful in breaking a problem down, I've seen senior engineers write sloppy code, lacking understanding of data structures.
if it should to memorize all this stuff so why humans invented computers??

I just did an interview for a really big topic that I have been working for more than 10 years, the tech guys from the company asked me about some stuff like this as I would have memorize everything I did on all these years. At the end even with lots of projects and good feedbacks from past managers, they said that I should have given then best answers to question like, what is the step by step to create a application, just ridiculous.
It's very true. Still now I'm searching to implement some of the algorithms I learnt in DS classes but real time projects does not require it. Everything is ready made already. We have to integrate all of them.
@@mridul1161 Congratulations..!, Also note that there are many frameworks out there to effectively search for a text-based data like elastic search or a token based search in PostgreSQL, etc.
I like how you described over-engineering, most of the time it's about being pragmatic and being nerdy about algorithms only slows you down in that case
One of the best tech youtube channels ever! Thank you very much. I'm a 9 months self taught newbie in this crazy world of programming and I've been learning a lot because of you.
Your channel is inspiring me alot. The content and advice is priceless. Thanks and I like Data Structures and Algorithms they have helped me so much in my programming skills.
I think the most practical thing you can learn when studying DS and algorithms is Big O. Because it trains your brain to be “cost” effective. That being said, if you want to get a high paying job, it’s crucial to learn these concepts, especially in Big Tech
Thanks Hussein! As a non-CS background junior dev, I often wonder if I need to equip myself with CS/DSA knowledge as soon as possible. This video provides a really good context for me.
Thank you for this insightful video. 🙏 I really like your concept of Core and Integrator types of Backend Engineer. It helps clarify what we do on the backend and how important data structures and algorithms are to both kinds of engineers. I would say working knowledge of DSA is great for an Integrator BE (helps with interviews too) but much more vital to a Core BE.
Thanks a lot, Hussein, You answered lots of questions that have been running through my mind about Algorithms and Data structures and how they are important for the backend engineers especially I have +3 years of experience in Front-end and these days I started to learn backend path to be a Fullstack developer ❤❤
Also, Abstract Math is super useful - not Calc or Trig (though not without merit) but Graph Theory, Non Euclidian Geometry, Modern Algebra. Doing proofs is very similar to writing bulletproof functions that you can break down and test, and re-use. But also, it helps to really understand searching and sorting algorithms and structures such as AVL tree, B-Tree, etc. If you can write a bug free AVL Tree class in C++, then you will never be accused of being an imposter. Of course, if you write it in Rust, it will probably be bug free as soon as you can get it to actually compile.
I have firm desire to learn programming and programming languages for doing work like full stack developer as Remote or freelancer. Its my dream and wish to work and keep learn more in software field.
Would you please make a video on developing some kinds of applications? The only application that I have built is an application that does CRUD operation. Somebody suggested me to learn DSA, I did, but feels like all those stuffs can be done using SQL language. No point of learning it.
if i have to answer this question :- well , algorithms are important if you're building brains , may be you wont implement those algorithms in real life but when you learn algorithms you learn problem solving also program design and that is the essence of algorithms. correct me if im wrong , im still a grad.
Yes, that's correct, try implementing these algorithms yourself in your preferred programming language, try not to look for the solution until you've spent a few hours trying to figure it out.
Hussein Nasser is an awsome guy and is a very inspiring person, He has helped me a lot with his videos. By watching these videos I also got motivated to create my own Tech channel. do check my channel and videos
Data structures are extremely important. Algorithms not at all. I spoke with lots of senior devs that told me that they never got to use a single algorithm in their career.

I appreciate that you remind us that we don't need to memorize all this stuff, and anyone who thinks we can is crazy

@ If only you can ask the same question back...
You actually can memorize a lot of it. Teaching others will do the trick.
It's very true. Still now I'm searching to implement some of the algorithms I learnt in DS classes but real time projects does not require it. Everything is ready made already. We have to integrate all of them.
Correct! Well said
Yeah.. I used edit distance recently in my search to track if user makes mistake in query and suggest him correct results

@ sree vishal which company are you working

This channel is a goldmine for us devs!
بارك الله فيك يا هندسة
والله حاجة عظمة

Robin Singh thank you Robin!
Your RUclips channel is like a goldmine
Hey you are a great engineers.. I really respect your thought process and experience.. please keep making these videos
Arjun tomar I appreciate you Arjun I try. 😊 I enjoy making this kind of content and will keep doing so
the most real down-to-earth explanation.

Honestly , the best explanation found in internet
Finally, a channel that puts things into perspective. Nice work dude.
Literally binge watching this channel

Thank You..... waiting for this video for so long!!!! ❤️ You Hussein.
Most underrated yt channel in swe category

Dear Hussein, you are awesome. Thank you for making these videos and educating me.
Glad you like them! enjoy the content and ask questions!
Hussein, you are doing a great job of spreading clarity. I really like your channel. You are the best.

Thank you for solving this question that I had and had not thought about what you mentioned integration or core developer
Thank you very much for sharing your knowledge on developing opensource databases!
جزاك الله خيرا
Thanks for your wisdom really appreciate it.
I love your content keep going hussein ❤️❤️
This video really makes sense!!
I have firm desire to learn programming and programming languages
for doing work like full stack developer as Remote or freelancer.
Its my dream and wish to work and keep learn more in software field.
Very interesting, thank you.
Make a video on building a search engine using apache lucene
Use Elasticsearch. It's based on Lucene only.
Thanks so much...
Amazing video, Keep going this wonderful work :)
Can you make a Algorithms and Data Structure course?
Bro you are really great
I'm any way going to get hands on them.
What do you do as a back end developer?
Will this be helpful in these AI scenarios ?
Would you please make a video on developing some kinds of applications?
The only application that I have built is an application that does CRUD operation. Somebody suggested me to learn DSA, I did, but feels like all those stuffs can be done using SQL language. No point of learning it.
Happy Engineers Day from 🇮🇳
15th September is Engineers day in India
thanks i m going to subscribe ur channel
Vasu Udayar welcome to the channel ! Enjoy the content
Can you recommend a good course on D.S & Algorithms, please ?
Thanks.
i will be happy if hussein will be my interviewer.
Your sound volume is very low, very hard to listen properly without headphones. Please adjust it.
Thanks
In short be open to learning whether it's DSA or some new tech....
Thanks bro
Talking of being crazy, I spent 4 days trying to implement merge sort by just seeing to the illustrations XD
what did you learn? was it helpful? Im trying to gain a better understanding of DSA and hopefully it applies to my upcoming job
You r awesome
you are awesome
You are awesome too 🙏
I am a dev for 15yrs, I have never used any algorithms.
Make sense
Everybody is integrator this days, right?
Is it me or Hussein looks like Jack Hughman in this video
Lol I wanted to say this, he looks like WOLVERINE
if i have to answer this question :-
well , algorithms are important if you're building brains , may be you wont implement those algorithms in real life but when you learn algorithms you learn problem solving also program design and that is the essence of algorithms.
correct me if im wrong , im still a grad.
It's all about integration
Yes, that's correct, try implementing these algorithms yourself in your preferred programming language, try not to look for the solution until you've spent a few hours trying to figure it out.
