First time around I did LC + building apps in React for 6 months after the bootcamp, not during it. Algorithm is hard for me still. However even back then there were videos/ guides online that showed you how to solve problems, no CS degree required. Second time and third time ar

Doing a bootcamp + hamering LC for 6 months is the equivalent of using ozempic to casually lose weight. You might lose the weight but you aren't building the underlying behavioral patterns for the rest of your life, and you'll always be stuck in a cycle of weight gain and loss and always relying on a medication to get your weight back down.
You'll be stuck in hiring -> layoff -> hiring -> layoff -> hiring, always trying to figure out how to get the next job, cramming Leetcode for no reason, instead of how to set yourself up for a solid long term career and understanding WHY you are doing Leetcode.
Anyways, Sunday night rant haha.
