I initially started solving LeetCode problems as a means of just gradually getting a bit better at problem solving in general. I did not really have a grand plan I was just trying to improve a little bit every day. Some days yielded good results, but more often than not it was a frustrating experience. There were instances when I was stuck on a single problem for hours, and also numerous occasions when Easy problems made me realize how much work I still had to do. The effort did accumulate to around 1500 problems solved. Very much a beginner in the grand scheme of things. I still get stuck and still learn. In fact, if there is a single takeaway from this journey, it is that small and steady effort actually goes unnoticed but compounds greatly over time. Feeling thankful for having come this far and excited about all the things I still have to learn. Trusting the process.
