hey, i got like 2m before uni starts so, im considering to grind thru neetcode 150 in c.

i took a gap year after high school and spent most of it learning fundamentals nd bit of development but never really focused on dsa properly until now.

for ppl who already went through the neetcode/leetcode phase:

• anything u wish u knew before starting?
• common mistakes beginners make?
• should i focus more on pattern recognition or understanding from scratch?
• any resources/advice that helped u?

would appreciate any tips : )

got around 2-3 months before college starts and dont wanna waste it doomscrolling all day

what are some things you wish you did before starting cs?
