Re: Is paying for LeetCode worth it?
Re: Is paying for LeetCode worth it? With the inaccessible text editors, you can usually get as far as ctrl+a ctrl+c to copy out, ctrl+a ctrl+v to copy in. Lots of stuff can be driven that way.Also Monaco is usable by screen readers and is, in fact, what's in VSCode: https://github.com/microsoft/monaco-edi … lity-Guide URL: https://forum.audiogames.net/post/615854/#p615854 -- Audiogames-reflector mailing list Audiogames-reflector@sabahattin-gucukoglu.com https://sabahattin-gucukoglu.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/audiogames-reflector
Re: Is paying for LeetCode worth it?
Re: Is paying for LeetCode worth it? That is incorrect. While the editor is far from being accessible, it is usable, if a bit finicky to work with.

Re: Is paying for LeetCode worth it?
Re: Is paying for LeetCode worth it? I think LeetCode uses the Monaco editor like SoloLearn so the editor isn't even usable anyway.

Re: Is paying for LeetCode worth it?
Re: Is paying for LeetCode worth it? I would agree that paying for this service isn't really worth it. I have to be honest, most people who swear by LeetCode are those who had a lot of success practicing day in and day out, just to get into a big tech company. I went through my FAANG phase, and yes, LeetCode helped me. But all it really helps with is practicing for interviews! The actual coding on the job does not incorporate skills from doing so many obscure algorithm and data structure problems. So, unless you want to shell out 35 dollars a month to eventually try your hand at interviewing at companies like Google, I wouldn't recommend it. Besides, LeetCode already has a lot of nice free content that can still do the job in preparing you for that. Oh, and if you're a competitive programmer, I would probably recommend it, but even for that there are better resources. That being said, LeetCode does have the largest database of DSA questions, but again, many of them are obscure, or only really of interest to those who compete in these programming contests.

Re: Is paying for LeetCode worth it?
Re: Is paying for LeetCode worth it? So here's the thing. Practice coding sites are good for the newest of new programmers. Once you're writing programs that are over say 1000 lines, or really even just a couple hundred, none of the practice sites are going to give you anything much. Even things like Advent of Code stop being really beneficial in any way unless you're just looking for brainteasers. Fun? Maybe, if you're the right sort of person. But going to teach you to actually build larger software projects? Not really. This is especially true if it's the sort of site where they check your answer, since being able to check your answer really just means practicing algorithms, and algorithms are only like 20% of programming at most.There are lots of universities and such that put their lectures up on Youtube, free software engineering textbooks, and so on. I don't know what's recent. But the coding practice problems site crowd is either people just getting started, a weird sort of competitive zealot personality type that's hard to describe, or people who think they're way better than they actually are. Yes, there's a minority of people who just do it for fun, and I don't disdain them for doing it. But be incredibly skeptical of this trend that those sorts of things teach much worth knowing.

Re: Is paying for LeetCode worth it?
Re: Is paying for LeetCode worth it? I don't know why this site has gotten so much street cred to the point of becoming a household name for practicing code. It comes with no other benefits other than extensive problems, but I can't imagine the quality being that much better than other resources enough to shell out money for it.

Re: Is paying for LeetCode worth it?
Re: Is paying for LeetCode worth it? I know nothing about them but you just said "pay for coding lessons". No. It's not. not Unless it comes with a university degree or some good credentials at the end, there's never any need to pay to learn programming.

Re: Is paying for LeetCode worth it?
Re: Is paying for LeetCode worth it? Probably not. Save the money for groceries, or something that'll actually do you some good.

Is paying for LeetCode worth it?
Is paying for LeetCode worth it? Out of the tons of resources for practicing coding and problem solving, folks tend to mention LeetCode. Is it worth investing some money to gain full access to their full content?
