Improving Your Coding Problem Solving Skills
Problem solving is kind of a pain in the ass for some software developers.
When most programmers are given a programming problem in an interview, they make several key mistakes. The most severe of those is the improper allocation of time.
If you have heard the saying "measure twice and cut once," then you are probably familiar with the idea of spending upfront time to make sure something is done right, rather than diving right in.
The most common mistake I see when conducting interviews or watching someone try to solve a programming problem is they try to start writing code as soon as possible.
The only way you are going to have confidence in getting better is to practice it. It takes a good amount of faith to believe that spending 70% of your 30 minutes to solve a problem just thinking about the problem and not writing any code is the right approach, so make sure you have that faith when you need it.
In this video, I'll teach you how you can get better at problem solving.
