Competitive programming is more than solving puzzles.

It’s a coding sport where algorithms, data structures, speed, and problem-solving collide. You write efficient code under strict time, memory, and space limits — just like real-world engineering under pressure.

In this episode:

• What competitive programming truly is and how it works

• Why global tech giants (Google, Amazon, Meta, IBM) invest in these contests

• Benefits: algorithmic mindset, fast debugging, CV power, tech network

• The origins — ICPC and the rise of online competitions

• Core skills: algorithms, math, typing speed, optimization strategies

• Best practices to level up faster

• Myths vs realities: Not just a game, not only for experts

• Downsides and how to avoid getting stuck

• Top platforms to start coding today:

– TopCoder

– Coderbyte

– Codewars

– CodeChef

– Codeforces

– HackerEarth

This is the ultimate training ground for becoming a sharper engineer.

Master logic, master code. Compete, learn, evolve.
