What I want to achieve is not like solve leetcode, but a fundamental way/shift in my thinking patterns.

I don’t really care, if some interview demands if I have studied and memorized some tricks and tips of leetcode question. I care more about how do I shift my thought process to be more structured, that this becomes second nature.

I have build this agent to kindof help me out, in solving questions. After a couple of interractions, the problem it figures, and I hope its right, I am trying to jump or fit structures rather than solving the problem.

I guess this comes mostly from my fear - the bad kind, the anxiety to just get it right, or appear like I am able to use some combination of the handful of datastructures I know.

I gotta be honest, my brain feels fucking fuzzy. I barely solve 1 question a day, doesn’t matter its a hard one or an easy one. I have spent a day equally on solving:

• Maximum length of repeating characters with K replacements
• Maximum number in a given window
• Next greater element I

From 12pm to 2am. No help.

People say reason from first principles, but it only works out for them. Anyone can lookup the actual price of building a rocket, its not really that rocket sciency.
