The thing I learned this year is that when engineers say they like working on “hard problems”, they actually don't. What they like is puzzle solving, and having a repertoire of patterns that they can pattern match onto traditionally hard problems, usually involving databases or something with scale, etc. And they know that the industry used to pay you a lot for how deep and broad this repertoire was. Unfortunately, in 2026, well, you have a cheat code machine that has infinite breadth and depth for pattern matching. So the question is, do you actually like hard problems? Because there are now hard problems that are a complection of engineering, product, society, culture, politics, and they are fairly intractable, probably unsolvable! Because if you do want to work on those actually hard problems, there is so much money that people will pay you for it. But you’ll have to face that truth about yourself first.
I'm so cooked for compiler design
I've never been this unprepared for any exams ever in my life.
And the worst thing is that I have no motivation left to study for it now, wtf😭😭

@pradumn_tiwari7 That's what I meant by trying to get better at dsa conceptually
I'm talking mainly about those grinding leetcode all day people on Linkedin and even tpot
One thing I'm quite curious to understand is the thinking of the people who're grinding CP/DSA right now.
I'm not really talking about those people who genuinely love CP and/or are trying to get better at DSA conceptually.
I'm talking about those people who are grinding it for career opportunities. Do you think it will be any relevant in a year from now?
@Earth_1729 Currently they are, but many companies are already asking proper system design and stuff right now
By the time you're in fourth year, idk what the state of the market will be, but its for sure that everyone will still cheat on OAs
