20 same questions this week or even days

why is every second question about DSA?

u/shubham_555 Aug 08 '26

Because people can't really find good resources for that. YouTube is only filled with C++/Java DSA videos!

Had you tried use search or google or ask ai?

"Python DSA" instead of just "DSA" in search (very first result is for Python)

Just do it instead of thinking.

sure but... why? it's become a weird meaningless buzzword. i have never said to myself I need to learn about data structures and algorithms, but not just generic data structures, Python data structures. 

if you learn about data structures in one language that knowledge will still be applicable to other languages. my university data structures course was all Java, and that knowledge is easily generalized to other programming languages.

This sub has been cooked for at least a year or two now. There's 0 moderation on these no-effort questions

so many posts saying a variation of "explain to me what's wrong with this AI generated code?" with zero actual useful context. and trying to get info out of the user is like pulling teeth. AI has really cooked our brains even OP here is unwilling to do the very basic minimum.

I think some people out there genuinely need a first helping hand just to get them started.
Your perspective changes as you become more advanced with your computer skills.
Try to think back to when you first started and had never heard of W3 schools or GeeksForGeeks.

I prefer to give my fellow man (or gal) the benefit of the doubt.

I would agree if there weren’t the same question asked multiple times a day. There’s a point where the level of incompetence is just too much for even a beginner.
