    Amazon isn’t impressed by anything except leetcode medium-hard

      I am on it buddy actually I started like two weeks ago and was solving like one problem a day and was learning a lot and starting to see some patterns then I saw this serialize and deserialize problem that just made feel so out of sync but I will get back to it ..but it was a hard knock for sure

      That is the question..I have been working for the last 2 years with C++ and haven’t really had many cool projects(outside work) to show #diversity so I thought of swift .. got better option?

  • Cool projects are language agnostic, and you're not impressing anybody lmao.

      If you need to ask for ideas don't try too hard.

      You're not going anywhere.

      "Oh hey, you work in finance blah blah lol why aren't you at Amazon?"

      Because I turned down their offer. Try harder next time A. Maybe I'll go fishing for fatter TC after this E7 completes the beast I'm working on.

      Fuck leetcode. I have successes to show off.
