Leetcode 75
a.i. assisted typescript solutions
I spent some time this past spring learning leetcode problems and solutions by exploring them in typescript with gpt. I would aim for 90+ percentile on speed and memory, and troubleshoot any approaches which fell short. The more advanced problems were a stretch, but walkthroughs were a helpful intro to complex material I may never directly integrate with my code.
As a programmer/dev who leans frontend, who does not have a hard computer science background, I receive a lot of feedback from pals who approach the acquisition of these types of programming skills as a game for technical interviews. I defer to their experience, however, while many classes made me more measurably knowledgeable (according to credits and transcripts), I often cite programming as the only subject I toured in graduate school which made me slightly smarter in daily life.
