How to LeetCode effectively in 2022

Knowing the proper way to "LeetCode" is a skill in itself. I have been doing LeetCode problems consistently for over two years and here is what I have learned.

First, higher problems solved does not necessarily equate to better skill. You can be interview ready for any tech company with about 100 carefully chosen problems. Choose your problems wisely because LeetCode will not do it for you. Second, consistency is better than grinding. Even if you are not planning to interview soon, start prepping now. Third, explaining a concept out loud will help you retain the information better. Lastly, always time yourself. In an interview, you will always be under a time limit and it is best to prepare in the same way.
