kirb 350 list

past lark
#

what is that

#

well i can google it tmrw morning

fresh wolf
#

here u go boss

#

list is from a meta swe

#

he's also a mod here

#

bro's cracked

past lark
#

sheeeeeeeeeeesh this is nice

keen bay
#

this is very complete, but it prolly also is overkill if you're actively interviewing rn

fresh wolf
#

if thats too much

#

^ small youtuber

#

doesnt 350 kinda defeat the point of blind 75 lol

past lark
#

LOL

fresh wolf
#

but his videos are better than neetcode

#

@fresh wolf yo

#

hows alex doing

#

yo

keen bay
#

I'd say focus on blind75 first and know that well
that's been enough for me for basically all companies

fresh wolf
#

damn

#

yeah I dont think you need to think about doing 350 questions lol

#

ur mr imagine

#

learn blind 75 and learn the common patterns

past lark
#

yeah

fresh wolf
#

and youll get all the alex kepler offers

past lark
#

some come easier to me

#

others not so much

fresh wolf
#

u gotta practice the fuck outta each pattern tho

keen bay
#

350 is fine when interviews are further out

fresh wolf
#

thats the thing

#

doing 350 lc questions ever is too much

#

u cant just do one q for each pattern

keen bay
#

if you finish that list you're basically done tbh

fresh wolf
#

yeah do a few per pattern

#

but like you dont need 350 ever lol

#

no ik

#

but kirb

#

has collected

#

I think at some point its overfitting

past lark
fresh wolf
#

and gonna be worse for you

past lark
#

but i’m gonna finish blind 75 first and then re do them

#

i take notes

#

and such

keen bay
#

maybe not do 350, but it's all in one place and that helps

#

if you need more bs problems you have it there

#

etc

fresh wolf
#

ya thats what i was suggesting

past lark
#

ye

#

appreciated fs

#

when you see a question, run through all the possible things you can do and see if one of them helps, like think can I use DFS, BFS, binary search, 2 pointer, hashmap, greedy, dp, etc

#

350 is 10000% overkill

#

don't do that lol

past lark
#

ok

#

pray for me

keen bay
#

#

general rule is like, bfs helps if you want shortest path or see if path exists, binary search helps if array is sorted in some sense (or weird way you can use it which i don't get) stuff like that

past lark
#

yeah i’ve been noticing those types of patterns

#

sorted arrays when it’s specifically given to you is usually a two pointer

#

etc

hushed jewel
#

ya lc is essentially just knowing what data structures and algos to use -> implement

#

don't focus on those weird ass ones

fresh wolf
hushed jewel
#

dfs, bfs, binary search, hashmap, 2 pointer, graph is like good enough for most companies out there

fresh wolf
#

make sure you know the weird shit

#

convex hull

#

#

I love convex hull

#

#

fast fourier transform

#

we're doign that in algo class

#

rn

#

its not even that bad

#

yeah its not

#

but if you get it in an interview

#

its kinda weird

#

ya

#

#

#

in an interview setting

Kirb350 is not a list u have to do, it’s just a master list one stop shop so u can record keep + target weak areas + filter for problems from some collection
