Usman Tariq said "I came back to cricket after watching the MS Dhoni movie. I felt our stories were similar, I was doing a job and he was also doing a job before taking cricket seriously so I felt like here's a person who has created history. I am a simple human being, too. Perhaps I can adopt the same pathway. I came back to cricket just because of MS Dhoni." [Espn Cricinfo]

@Divyansh91565 I think for >tier3 students luck more matters than skillset

All these DSA courses - free or paid - are somehow the real reason people get stuck in tutorial hell.
I've seen a guy who just watches lectures, codes exactly what the instructor codes, then practices that same code 5-10 times on his own…
and then memorizes it.
Like wtf?
That's not problem solving. That's just copying with repetition.
You didn't think. You didn't struggle. You didn't get stuck. You didn't debug your own idea.
You just replayed someone else's brain.
And then people say they are "doing DSA seriously".
No. You're just training memory, not logic.
Real DSA starts when: You open a problem. You don't know what to do. You try. You fail. You rethink. You build the solution yourself.
Until then, it's nothing but tutorial dependency.

After college, I was unemployed.
I felt sad and depressed, constantly questioning my life choices.
One day, someone recommended an AI masterclass by Dhruv Rathee.
Honestly, it changed my life. I learned how to use tools like ChatGPT, Claude, Blackbox, and more.
Soon after, I started receiving opportunities from top companies, including some based in Silicon Valley.
Today, I’m living the life I once only dreamed of.
The best ₹699 investment I’ve ever made.

Alright so it's just my thoughts
1. If you're in 3rd or 4th year and just starting Codeforces, I honestly don't think it’s worth it. CF takes a lot of time, and at that stage you don't have much of it. You're better off focusing on LeetCode and problem volume.
2. Shivam Bhadani's post was from 2023. Back then, cheaters were way fewer or almost zero. Right now, <= 1600 rated people are struggling badly, not just because of skill but also due to cheating and increased problem difficulty. If you pick 2-year-old 1500-rated problems, they feel like today's 1100–1200. So back then, if someone couldn't reach Specialist even after 8 months, it was definitely a skill issue.
3. In the current scenario, being a rating-paglu below Expert is not worth it. Even solving Div2 A, B, C doesn't guarantee Specialist anymore. Earlier, just ABC could push you to Expert because problem levels were simpler and There were no cheaters. Times have changed.
4. Improving pure problem-solving has insane ROI. I'm just a Pupil, but LC Mediums feel like cakewalk now. I crossed 2000+ LC rating mainly by grinding 1000–1400 level problems. If someone is doing CP only due to peer pressure, it's not worth it. CP is not a peer-pressure thing. It’s something you do because it gives you a thrill that's hard to explain.
5. Freshers, sophomores, and even 3rd years, if you enjoy CP, keep doing it. Don't obsess over rating, fck the cheaters, just improve your problem-solving.
And if you're from tier-3 or below, please don't ignore development. For off-campus opportunities, dev plays a massive role in shortlisting.
Thanks for reading..
Keep grinding :)

What is the definition of "free" here?
- The sheet is still accessible to you.
- The blogs are still there.
- The YouTube videos are still there.
What's taken down?
- The links to third parties (LC links are still there).
- The links were taken down a year back.
- Reddit is slow this time lol.
- None of the third parties support TUF anyway, so why do we need their links?
What's not allowed?
- Any kind of submission on our platform.
- You get 15 credits to run per day.
Why?
Per run/submit, we do two judge executions on our end. Each judge execution costs us 0.04 INR. Two of them cost 0.08 INR.
15 credits per day that we offer for free costs us 15 × 0.08 = 1.2 INR per person if they use all credits. We have around 75–100K people using the compiler daily. The total cost comes to 1.2 × 75,000 = 90,000 INR per day (worst case). Monthly, that's ~27L.
This is just for the free credits and doesn't include employee costs or server costs. Check the pricing here: #pricing" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">judge0.com/#pricing
Opening unlimited submits would generate numbers that would shut us down, and you wouldn't see TUF ever again.
You or the post author can sign a contract to donate your first month's salary for the cause, I will happily open equivalent submissions for the community.
Our paid plan is not expensive compared to most US companies like LC (they charge ~3000/month), which is why they can offer a free practice portal. Doing the same here in India would not work, you know how the audience reacts. Our paid plan is around 5-6K (we get 4-5K for 2 years as GST is not ours, making it around ~200 INR per month), and we offer your the best support out there, with access to DSA, Unlimited Submits, Core Subjects, OOPs, LLD, SQL, Aptitude. We try to do as much as possible, but financial constraints limit everyone. We do not come from a family like the Ambani's, with stacks of cash to keep funding things.
As a student, you don't think about the backend. The sheet is still free. Removing some third-party platform links doesn't make it paid. Period.
