I've done something like sixty DP problems and it still doesn't click the way graphs eventually did
Graphs took maybe fifteen problems before I started recognizing the shape of a BFS-shaped question versus a Union-Find one. DP just hasn't done that for me. I can follow a solution once it's explained, I can even implement it if someone tells me it's DP, but staring at a fresh problem I never see "oh, overlapping subproblems" on my own. I've tried the pattern lists, the "identify the state" frameworks, redoing problems a week later. Is this just more reps than I think, or is there something about how I'm studying it that's off?
