Published: 2023-07-26 05:42:07

Hey, hey! What's up, fellow coding enthusiasts? It's your pal Mohit here, just a regular dude who's diving headfirst into the world of coding, algorithms, and data structures.

I am a fullstack developer but I do not do many algorithm questions which are asked in interviews. So, I decided to try my hands on LeetCode.

Let me tell you about a little bump I encountered on my coding journey recently, and I thought it'd be great to share it with all of you.

You know what's been a game-changer for me as a beginner? Having a solid group of friends to learn and grow alongside. They're like my trusty study buddies, always there to keep me motivated and inspired.

But here's the catch: Our beloved coding platform LeetCode, doesn't offer a tiny feature to track my friends' progress. Bummer, right? I mean, imagine the extra boost of encouragement I could get from seeing how my buddies are doing and celebrating their victories together.

And that's where the lightbulb moment struck!
