• How to start learning web development for free

• Ask HN: Would doing a coding bootcamp be a horrible idea?

  Don't do bootcamp. Start with something like https://freecodecamp.org and take a few lessons. Try to build something from that and see how motivated you are. If you see some progress and this thing still excites you, then may be find an engineer (a friend/co worker etc) who can guide you a bit as you continue to build something. Start small and stay away from bootcamps (my 2 cents). - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago

• Ask HN: Does LeetCode/HackerRank make you a better developer?

  I think they make for poor evaluations, though understanding the underlying performance characteristics and limitations of common data structures and algorithms can certainly be important. That said, you'll probably need to get at least somewhat comfortable with these sorts of problems if you want to interview successfully. FWIW, the last time I was on the job hunt, I found it quicker and more helpful to use a... - Source: Hacker News / 6 months ago

• Ask HN: How do you make time for side projects and Leetcode grinding

  This. Do not try and do the problems from scratch. All you will end up doing is frustrating yourself for hours and taking far longer to get through the material than you need to. You wouldn't do this in any other field e.g you wouldn't jump into a Linear Algebra textbook with no prior experience and expect to be able to solve all of the problems without first reading the chapters. Don't expect to be able to do... - Source: Hacker News / 8 months ago
