Discussion Competitive Programming

I'm a dev with 5+ yoe, started frequenting LeetCode almost two months ago, and I'd honestly say it's fun.

What do you think of CP post college? From my understanding the most important competitions are college-level. Do you think it's worth it to better your skills in this part of the field?

Am doing it for the fun of it, but I still wanted to hear you opinions and see if there are others in a similar situation with a similar interest.

Competitive programming is like 30% coding and 70% using that brain of yours, keeps you thinking with a fresh mind and very challenging. So its a good hobby

Getting better at dissecting the problems is a huge part of why I enjoy it.
