 What's up guys? Mike the coder here today. I am just before I start my live stream. I'm gonna make a brief video on what beginners should but main problem with beginners in competitive programming and from my point of view as a beginner like myself We like to talk a lot about competitive programming instead of actually doing problems like In the past month, I didn't actually solve any problems at all To be honest, like I didn't submit anything. It didn't solve anything So yeah, I haven't really been participating in contests either because of how busy I am but to be fair We like to look up as Beginners we like to look up the secret ingredient in order to try to Improve in competitive programming and what is what do people should do and yada yada yada and what should I focus on and How should I practice so on and so forth and to be fair that it might be a good idea to search that stuff up but at the end of the day the only way to get better is just by practicing and If you just waste your time and just searching of how to become better, you're not gonna improve at all So yeah, at the end of the day, you just have to practice in order to improve So that's what I just have to say about The issue of beginners and like myself because I like to search about how do I become I don't know how to become green How do I become blue? What should I focus on and so on and so forth? But to be fair, I think the only way to get better at solving problem is just to Do more of it just to practice more of it. It's not there's no secret ingredients. No secret way to do it So yeah, you're just gonna have to grind through the problems and you and I have to like a few bad contests for past months prior to it But I think I'm gonna get better. They all come back up It's just that the weird different time zones and stuff like that. But yeah, and I also give up too easily That's my another big issue. But yeah, those are my main issues about being a beginner in competitive program You just have to you just have to practice. There's no other way to do it So you there's no there's no secret ingredient and we we should actually just stop talking about it instead of act And actually solve problems But yeah, I hope you guys enjoy this video rate comps scribe. I'll check you guys later. Peace
