System Design Live Streams every Saturday at 7pm PST My LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/therealraymondjones/ My leetcode profile - https://leetcode.com/u/TheRealRaymondJones/ ----------------- Who Am I? ----------------- I placed 320 / 25,000 contestants on Leetcode contest in 2024. This placed me at around top 1.6% in the world. I started my Leetcode journey without knowing anything. I struggled understanding recursion, what trees were, what linked lists did. I failed several DSA interviews because I couldn't even understand the question. Even 1 year ago, I was around top 50% in the world. I started livestreaming myself practicing everyday. Now, I'm trying to do the same for System Design and AI topics. 00:00 - Intro 00:26 - Why Do LeetCode and FAANG Job Offers 01:57 - My First Mistake: Focusing Too Much on Theory Books 03:38 - My Second Mistake: Only Solving Easy Problems 04:04 - My 2018 Leetcode Profile 06:41 - My Third Mistake: Following Multiple Roadmaps 08:36 - What I Would Do Now 09:35 - Beginner Problems Walkthrough 10:20 - Intermediate and Advanced Problems 12:01 - Spaced Repetition and Weak Topic Focus 12:34 - Conclusion and Resources
