I liked the way Grokking the coding interview organized problems into learnable patterns. However, the course is expensive and the majority of the time the problems are copy-pasted from leetcode. As the explanations on leetcode are usually just as good, the course really boils down to being a glorified curated list of leetcode problems.

So below I made a list of leetcode problems that are as close to grokking problems as possible.

• https://leetcode.com/problems/maximum-subarray/ # Close enough
• https://leetcode.com/problems/minimum-size-subarray-sum/

This is a collection of the things I believe about software development. I have worked for years building backend and data processing systems, so read the below within that context.

Keep it simple, stupid. You ain't gonna need it.
