[Update] The end of a period

I got a job offer in a small company in town - it matches my expectation in almost every aspect: meaningful domain, the opportunity to learn and improve, and nice pay.

The interview did not use any of the stuff I have prepared for the last few month - days and nights going through, sometimes painfully, all these Leetcode problems. But I am glad I did it. By doing these algorithmic problems, I have gained a much deeper understanding of common algorithms, been more appreciative of good and efficient code, and cultivated a habit to endure some hard and lonely moments in life.

My progress in Leetcode - I actually never have imagined that I could have done so many problems.

I like doing these problems, so I will likely keep updating some interesting problems I have solved, but to a less intensity. This might be even better, as now I am in a much more relaxing mood - I might be able to think deeper than just finishing as much problems as possible.

I look forward to this new chapter of my life
