Hey guys I just wondering how y’all got into leetcoding for the first the time or like strategies to stat leetcoding. I know basic python syntax but apart from that ik nothing. I started with neetcode 150 just looking at the question and i don’t even know where to begin i just looked at solutions till I could see some resemblance in the other problems. I was just wondering is this how you guys started or?

Im a senior in college and I feel so dumb. For the longest time I’ve always tried to cheat my way through everything. Throughout middle school high school college I never did any work myself except for math ig. But now as a senior in college I’ve hit the realization I cant do anything myself. Like I’ve never written my own essay or any email myself, i just use AI now or before AI i would just use other sites to glitch it for me. Now I feel like i cant have my own analysis of anything, or just be able to express my thoughts, or articulate myself properly at all. If I have an understanding of something I cannot for the life of me explain it to someone else. I always try to use pike something i saw online as my own thoughts and I just could never come up with some analysis on my own. Now I cant find a job as a comp sci major and life just feels dull and hopeless. Is anyone else in my position or like can relate?
