• Ask HN: Does LeetCode/HackerRank make you a better developer?

  I think they make for poor evaluations, though understanding the underlying performance characteristics and limitations of common data structures and algorithms can certainly be important. That said, you'll probably need to get at least somewhat comfortable with these sorts of problems if you want to interview successfully. FWIW, the last time I was on the job hunt, I found it quicker and more helpful to use a... - Source: Hacker News / 7 months ago

• Ask HN: How do you make time for side projects and Leetcode grinding

  This. Do not try and do the problems from scratch. All you will end up doing is frustrating yourself for hours and taking far longer to get through the material than you need to. You wouldn't do this in any other field e.g you wouldn't jump into a Linear Algebra textbook with no prior experience and expect to be able to solve all of the problems without first reading the chapters. Don't expect to be able to do... - Source: Hacker News / 9 months ago

• Rant - Anyone else having trouble finding a job?

  Core coding and IT skills are a must though. Pick a language you followed and liked at Uni, check there is decent job demand for it, and do a udemy.com course on it (great value, great content, very cheap). Pair this with a major cloud (Azure or AWS) qualification which is pretty much a must these days, and you're much more attractive as an applicant. Source: 11 months ago

For example, according to the instructor, who passed his administrator certification on his first try, teach the specific concepts you will see in the test. I think that there are 133 features/concepts. So, the first video is about... Source: 12 months ago

• Cheap/free language lessons

  If you're prepared to do self-study, take a look at the udemy.com learning site. I paid somewhere in the region of £15 (they retail for around £60-70 in general but always come on sale at some point) for a number of courses (incl. languages). The courses are rated by students and I haven't yet been let down. Source: 12 months ago
