A very happy, relatively-ordinary new year to you.
I hope you remember me, but I wouldn’t blame you if you didn’t - Me DKP, the graduate from ITUS(International Talent of Ultimate Student). I used to send out weekly DSA newsletters until October, before shit hit the fan. My probes so far can be found here
There are days when you weep over what a sucky life you have, and the first day of a new year, especially after a year like 2020, isn’t one of those days, so I’ll just keep my sob story out. Let’s just say I was trying to put out fires all over the place and couldn’t really write in full body and spirit.
But here I am again - unvaccinated, but alive and more excited, for DKProbes Season 2.
Whenever I was not putting out fires, I was thinking of ways to improve my content based on stuff I learned from elsewhere, and I hope to inculcate them in my probes. Some of them are as follows :
Everyone loves a good meme, but often times, memes are just too much, and at times, my probes were a bit too, well, meme-y, and they kind of distracted attention away from what you were learning. That’s something I aim to change - there’ll be one/two VERY RELATABLE memes per probe, and those memes will be selected so as to help you recall the question we’re discussing, right slam bang in the middle of an interview, when you need it the most. Implementing this is not gonna be easy at all, but had it been easy, it’d have been done already.
I have structured my content to form a coherent structure to help you for prepping for interviews, so instead of random probes on random topics, you’ll find a definite hierarchy being followed. I’ll also do my best to incorporate some additional resources for the same, like the link to the leetcode question, a similar question asked on Codeforces and so on.
While I was focused on DSA only, my future newsletters might include a link to some tech articles that I write - I am, as you know, a Full Stack Developer(read - Pull stack developer - I pull stuff off the internet and hope it works) and instead of starting out a new newsletter for the same, I thought it wiser to just include a link to the articles with the DSA Probes. A sample article can be found here
As you might be aware, I also work a Markets newsletter, where I write about market stories on some cool stuff that’s been happening. Check it out and subscribe here. I am also appending some international affairs stories that I like to talk about, which you’ll find as links in the markets newsletter.
So, that’s me looking forward to a new year - hope I don’t mess this one up.
As always, you can connect with me on LinkedIn, Twitter, and follow me on GitHub
So, look forward to my newsletter(s) in the coming weeks.
Until then
