Broke a 143 day LeetCode streak on purpose and felt relief instead of guilt, which told me everything
#burnout#dsa#interview-prep
Had the streak going since a New Year's resolution, kept it alive through a cold, through a move, through a week I genuinely didn't have twenty minutes to spare. Somewhere in there it stopped being about staying sharp and became about not seeing the counter reset. Skipped a day on purpose to test how it'd feel and the honest answer was better than any single day of grinding a medium problem half-asleep had felt in weeks. Still practicing most days, just not performing the streak for an app anymore.

AnonymousAnon The streak becoming the point instead of the practice is such a real trap. Mine turned into checking a box at midnight instead of actually engaging with the problem by the end.
