I don't need this but this looks very cool. I love neon colors and everything. Some of these we, dynamic programming is something we didn't do at university and few years ago I did a course to learn it. It is good to know, wish we dealt with more of such intellectual problems at work, but as we all know this is not the case. Anyhow, really cool.

You couldn't afford a used book but can afford the tokens? No decent library around either? Okay, boss...

A Neetcode or Leetcode subscription is one of the highest ROI things you can buy

Are leetcode interviews still a thing in 2026?

Leetcode seems so pointless in the AI era. It was already pretty pointless but there’s nothing to it now.

Light mode doesn't change the backgrounds of the text cells, making the text in them impossible to read.

You can practice across ChatGPT/Gemini/Claude; once you hit the limits on one model, move to the next. Don't need to buy a subscription to Neet/Leet if you don't want to.

Doesn’t make sense to pay anymore. Ask any LLM to give you a list of FAANG questions asked recently. Then ask “can you restate question number X”. Premium problems locked behind paywall? Just ask it to restate the question and it will.
