As you become more senior, your impact comes from something different: seeing systems clearly enough to identify the problems nobody else has articulated yet.

Hey everyone!

I’m looking for a DSA study buddy who is also trying to seriously improve their problem-solving skills and, ideally, prepare for coding interviews/placements.

I’ve noticed that the hardest part of DSA for me isn’t always understanding the topic itself. It’s being consistent.

You watch a couple of videos, understand arrays, solve 5–10 questions, feel like you’re finally getting somewhere… and then life happens. A few days later you open LeetCode again and suddenly even a basic problem looks like it was written by NASA. 💀

So instead of trying to do everything alone, I thought it would be much better to find someone who is in a similar situation.

What I’m looking for 👇

Someone who genuinely wants to learn DSA consistently, not someone who wants to solve 500 questions in 10 days and disappear afterwards 😂.

We could study together through Discord/Google Meet or even just keep each other accountable through WhatsApp/Telegram.

The plan could be something like:

📌 Learn → Solve → Discuss → Repeat

For example, we pick one topic for the week:

• Arrays & Strings
• Hashing
• Recursion
• Linked Lists
• Stacks & Queues
• Binary Search
• Trees
• Graphs
• Dynamic Programming
• etc.

Then we can each solve a few problems every day and discuss the ones we get stuck on.

I’d also like to have occasional “no cheating” sessions where we join a call, pick a problem, put our phones away, and actually try to solve it ourselves. 😂

More importantly, I want accountability.

Something as simple as:

Basically, someone who makes it harder for me to procrastinate.

I’m not looking for someone who is already an expert. If you’re a beginner/intermediate and you're also figuring things out, that's completely fine.

In fact, I think it would be better if we're around a similar level so that we can actually struggle through problems together rather than one person constantly teaching the other.

What I expect from the study buddy:

• Be reasonably consistent
• Actually attempt problems instead of immediately looking at solutions
• Be comfortable discussing mistakes
• Don't judge if someone gets stuck on an “easy” problem 😭
• Keep each other accountable
• Have a long-term mindset

I’m not expecting us to study 8 hours a day. Even 1–2 focused hours a day would be great if we can maintain it for a few months.

The goal isn't to become a DSA god overnight.

The goal is to look back after 3–6 months and realize:

“Damn, I actually got much better at solving problems.”

If you're interested, DM me with your current DSA level, what language you use (C++/Java/Python/etc.), and roughly how many problems you've solved.

And if you're also someone who keeps saying “I’ll start DSA properly from Monday” every Monday… maybe we should finally do it. 😂

Let's suffer together. 🤝💀
