- ExciteByteThere is a more polished version of this book:https://link.springer.com/book/10.1007/978-3-031-61794-2Additionally, there is a nice set of problems that go along with the book:https://cses.fi/problemset/
- xendoThis one is quite difficult, it sacrifices some readability for cleverness and conciseness. I find Algorithmic Thinking by Zingaro much more approachable but almost as dense.
- lifeislovingIve been doing codeforces, Rosalind, codewars and leetcode casually in my spare time to detox from heavy daily agent use.Ive been relearning a ton that either over-reliance on llms caused me to forget, or just lost due to time.Its been extremely fun. I really missed the feeling of thinking really hard and arriving at a solution.I hope we dont lose this desire as a species.
- KeegsI’m a big fan of this book. It’s an equally great algorithms reference and way to prep for coding interviews. I haven’t had one in a while but doubt they’ve changed too much in the last half decade.
- dominotwis leetcode still a thing in interviews. I personally want it to be. We need to start gatekeeping this profession hard ( this is a hard 180 from my stance for last 2 decades). Also regret contributing and being pro opensource.Closedsource, credentialism and gatekeeping is my new stance.
