I've changed my mind about DSA's,
you've heard it every where - "leetcode is dying", "You don't need to know DSA, AI is here"
While I am a big fan of new technologies, I also like to know what I am doing and what my code is doing, that doesn't just give me peace of mind it it saves me time when I am debugging, I don't know about you but I feel lost when I use AI to change a lot of my code
Recently I've been reading more code then actually writing, diving into DSA problems, and even had to refresh my knowledge about Big O notation and more.
I really enjoy it and I feel like as devs we have forgotten how to enjoy the process and now see code as means to an end or something like that...
Personally I find joy in it and I am pretty sure I am not the only one.
The tools and frameworks didn't make us developers...our curiosity, problem solving, the drive to build, break fix and innovate did + nerding out over computers,
Cheers
