If you're not applying to FANG they keep the questions at what would be considered "Leetcode Easy", which most programmers can solve or get close to solving in the allotted time. If you can't, a really simple solution is just practice 3 leetcode easy problems a day. Once you get into FANG, you'll begin facing "Leetcode Medium" questions in interviews. Honestly, just learn how versatile data structure and algorithms are and you'll begin to see patterns in problems. The most CRUCIAL advice I can give you is to practice with a friend and do mock interviews to each other. This is because half the coding interview is evaluating if you can solve the problem and the other half is judging how easy you would be to work with (i.e., how well you convey your thought process).
You literally explained my life rn... It's nice to know other people know the struggle of unmotivated procrastination, while coding and binge watching anime LMAO
I don't actually think it's procrastination, doing stuff that requires a lot of brainpower requires breaks in between or you just end up burning out. I think it's nornal
@All in one channel If only it was THAT simple! I'm a graduated Computer Science bachelor and I'm here to testify that I miss going outside so so much! Sometimes being able to CHOOSE to stay inside makes all of the difference in the world!
do a bit of coding, watch one episode of anime, do a bit of coding, watch 5 episodes to finish the season....bro, I know how annoying it is when coding has to interrupt your entertainment
Here's some Data Science for you, of your 8 minute and 27 second video approximately 2 minutes and 45 seconds were an Advertisement or approximately 33% (32.5ish) Your video is literally 1/3rd AD
He said in a video that he made the previous ones against his will, because he had a contract and had to do them. Now he's back doing videos with a fuck ton (really, a third of a video being just ad is excessive) of ads in it. I watch anyway cause Joma is hella entertaining and funny, but I wish there was more of him in the videos, like more time of content instead of ads. Seems like he just want money, maybe it's the unemployment, idk
Context is important though. This is an 8.5 min video. The same ad length also runs on his videos ranging from 15 to 20 minutes. Meaning 1/6th to 1/8th of his videos are ads. He also had to support himself somehow. RUclips provides this great option to skip though the video at your own free will.
I am trying to find a sub-array [1,2] in a bigger array [1,2,3,4,5,1,2] today and I ended up asking myself if sleeping more than 8 hours a day made me stupid so I think I understand what you are saying here. Thanks for sharing!
It's so encouraging to see the risk you're taking in order to do something that you really want. You have gained my respect Joma. On the other hand, try to go outside and have some fun because if you only code for hours, days and weeks you can get depressed Joma. So take your time and enjoy these days :D. By the way you're a kind of inspiration for me !
6:20 yo Joma, mate, you're losing it, you need a day-to-day routine, which is definitely hard without school/work to adhere to, but get it bro, you need it.
As a self taught programmer, this is too relatable. These ruts are difficult to get out of but they can be prime periods for growth. There is a baseline level of social interaction needed or you will go full Joma quickly.
@@parker5115 Definitely agree on the social side I make sure to meet a friend about once a week, otherwise I start feeling socially awkward...and just generally weird.
Accurate. I quit my job, less than a week ago, and I’m already slipping into insanity. I’m also very secluded outside of work. It’s very dangerous. Depression doesn’t take long to kick in.
Bro i never commented on your videos but today i feel like I have to . Dont give up and as u said its hard but u will get through it. Get a routine and get better and biggest thing beleive on yourself u are a smart dude and u should tell this to yourself. U got this man
I’m studying, too. Started writing software at 12 back in 2002. Sometimes, I don’t think the interview processes are broken, but that I am broken. What a ride my career has been. You’re right in saying it’s an IQ test. LeetCode is really terrible.
I quited my job without an offer before. The first two months felt great. Then the anxiety and stress began to kick in, I eventually managed to land myself a decent job 6 months into being jobless. Looking back, it was a tough time, but I learnt a lot during that 6 months break. Would I do it again? Probably not. Two advices for people who are in similar situations - 1. keep a healthy routine and stick with it. 2. Don't post your emotions on social media - cuz I can almost guarantee you would regret it afterwards. Keep walking, Joma.
i feel you because i was retrenched and unemployed for 4 months. It was a tough 4 months for me. Its hard to motivate yourself and i was on the verge of insanity for staying at home playing games and watching anime. I went for fuck ton of interviews. I even had to take vacation because I couldnt stand looking at my home everyday for 4 months and thank god after I went back from vacation I got a job from one the hundreds of the interviews that i went. One thing i learned from this is that work stress gives you money, unemployed stress gives you absolute HELL
Great advice. My friend is a Tech PM at amazon and he has just about had it there. As much as he is dissatisfied, he knows not to quit without an offer elsewhere
Bro, just stick with it for like a month and you'll get better, he's wrong about it being just IQ, he is right about it being similar to some math classes though, but studying for math classes helps, and you learn to think outside the box to solve problems in clever ways, there are so many little tricks you acquire when you've been programming for a little while and usually those tricks can solve almost anything.
Thanks for this Joma , I am also leetcoding, trying to prepare for internships for next summer...-- a ut austin graduate student who haven’t come to the US yet.
Hey Joma, It's interesting to me that I'm also doing leetcode for the second time. First time I did 150+ questions and went for Amazon and despite solving all the questions I question solving process again but seeing you do it gives me some hope. I'll start with Top Interview Question list. If you have suggestions to which leetcode list you do let us know. Or there is a list of questions (lintcode, geeksforgeeks ??)
I can completely relate to this. I left my job in IT as a systems engineer (aka administrator) to be a software engineer / data scientist. I can't decide which one I want to be. I spend all day alone, messing around on leetcode and in kaggle. It's definitely a grind, but I'm committed to it, so no turning back now!
Have you made it ? Being a mechanical engineer and project manager, i just left my job too to pursue data science... I am learning python and doing math as of now ...such as stats, probability
I am glad that I bumped into this video. I feel very similar nowadays. The circumstances are a little different, but I am also looking for a software developer job. Anyway, in the meanwhile I am doing other temporary jobs, which is probably not such a good idea.
bruh it seems like you have really isloated yourself and you're stopiing yourself from having a social ife for some reason. That's very dangerous and it will continously degrade your mental health. Human is a social animal remember. I have an exam in an hour and instead of getting back to studying asap I'm here typing this for you so just give this a thought atleast. Love your vids.
I live in the bay area . Milpitas to be more specific .... I'm not trying to hate on anyone but I see more and more asian men doing this to themselves , specially those in the tech industry . Almost no social life besides RUclips and anime all day ....
I'm also a huge fan of the enhanced pomodoro techique, 5-10 minutes of work, 30 minutes of whatever you want. The great thing about it is if you do manage to get a whole hour worth of work done all in one go, you're good for a whole week!
I know the struggles of the unemployed life! I got sick of the "dead end days". So i taught myself a lot about the science behind nutrition( holy shit what you eat REALLY controls everything down to how you feel/act), how to ACTUALLY cook (thank you Gordon Ramsey >>DISCIPLINE
I went through all that you are going through man. I get it. The first few weeks you tend to procrastinate and then you realize it is not going right. You need to exercise. Work out. It will keep you sharp and steady. It is hard to keep yourself motivated initially as you think you need the rest after working so hard for so long. IT is hard and it does get easier as you said, just keep yourself motivated even if it is anime or porn... :)
