Wooww so you do stack, queues, trees etc with JavaScript.... Lovely

Stack and queues in JavaScript can be done using arrays and array methods like shift, unshift and pop. Trees traversal in JavaScript and java is the same though. What's hard to do in JavaScript is heaps.

Boss, try ICE (but u fit no melt again o. Ur eye go open 247) .

Went to one of my sure guy's friend's place. Boys were on loud, music & gisting. A particular guy was with his pc & earpiece, typing & vibing to trap.

Due to our proximity, I saw several apps opened on the Taskbar. Guy was switching btwn VSCode, chrome dev mode and other apps. I knew man must be a mad tech guy.

From what I saw clearly, I swear on God, this guy legit logged in to a global trading site without registering.

Ọmọ, I thought na highness at first. I observe, I no talk.

Na later I learn say d guy na mad hacker, unfortunately, blackhat. Uses several languages interchangeably. He later told me he was self-taught.

With him bonker & lappy, no sleep till power goes off or mission accomplish.

Me sef gats withdraw some cos I no wan enter that dr*g level..

That experience taught me that there are mad techies in this country on a low.

Methamphetamine (ice) is a dangerous drug though. Shouldn't be recommended to anyone.

And you know what Ehen tensa

I was having a discussion with an old time Friend. He's a product of Mathematics and computer science, OAU. I'm not exaggerating, in my life I've not seen someone that knows mathematics like he does. This guy is a beast. Not capping.

He's also into programming, knows Java and Python on an advanced level. So on Sunday, we were talking about tech on ,I now mentioned Leetcode. I was surprised he hadn't even heard about it before, and funny enough he said he knows DS&A quite well, told me he started learning it in 2020. Though he said the thing is tough sha

He said he heard about it from CS Dojo, and decided to learn it for learning sake. The guy didn't see the power of the knowledge he already has. He was even using those technical jargons you guys use here; Array,hashmap, big O notation, how to use algorithms to determine the runtime of code, he talked about so many stuffs I couldn't understand

And I'm like if I knew what this guy know, I won't be in Nigeria. God forbid. I later told him about Leetcode, he said he will check it out and register. I could see the joy in his face when I told him about leetcode

SWE, DS&A and Leetcode issa goal. If hat's the fastest way to leave the trenches for good, and requires me sacrificing sleep and pleasure for sometime in order to get good at it, I will. I swear down

Be careful though, arrays in JavaScript are not queues. Enqueue and dequeue operation should be O(1), while unshift and shift in JavaScript are both O(n). Arrays are completely fine for stacks though.

Opinion:
For those of you who want to learn DSA, y'all should slow down a bit. Learning DSA especially the fundamentals is not concerned at all with leetcode, leetcode is what you do when you're good with the basics.

Wow I didn't know this though. I use arrays and shift and unshift when I wanna do queues. Java gives you a queue off the bat and you can poll. Damn!

Honestly with big companies no one cares if you are frontend, backend, embedded systems or whatever. The most important thing is data structures and algorithms. Grinding thousands and thousands of leetcode questions is the koko. They believe once you understand data structures and algorithms you can work in any software field. A frontend software engineer might join a big company like google and start working on embedded systems. So long as you passed through that system they believe you can cope.

In this same nairaland someone is earning 33k USD per month. Another guy here in Lagos cause he knows elixir got a 400k usd per year job in the USA. He stays here in lagos at gbagada. Data structures is the koko. Nothing else is important. I realised it so late and I am paying dearly for my foolishness. I could have been on 7k USD per month remote or relocation out of this shithole.

Abeg I won kidnap somebody cheesy, what?

It happened to me once, it was Python's "pop(0)", same as JavaScript's "shift" which really made my algorithm slow, this scenario is language agnostic though. I usually avoid JavaScript for coding problems, especially complex ones since JavaScript is really unpredictable and can make you go nuts lol, you get mind.

I did some basic discrete mathematics when I started last year. Been on this since November 2021.

I need your opinion on something, I'll be moving to the UK by january to study machine learning and big data, i want to pick up a skill that can easily get me gigs on upwork. What would you suggest?

I am already moving away from Upwork, it works for me, but to earn, I have to work like a regular job, moving to selling something. Upworks is a shoot and miss type of ordeal.

I initially heard about Leetcode fro a Naija babe on YouTube (Bukola). She works at Google now..
According to her, she studied it day and night for months and later started appyling for jobs.

Since I'm following the Data Analytics pathway, I'll be learning DS&A by the sides when I plan to enter Data Engineering. For now, I'll learn what I need to become a BI dev or Data analyst.
