Weekly Dev – Algorithms, Language Learning, and Life
Crazy week. I didn't even have time to write this log. It's already Tuesday night, and I finally have a moment to breathe.
🧠 Algorithms This Week
As usual — 4 algorithms. This time:
Move Zeroes
Contains Duplicate
Intersection of Two Arrays
Majority Element
I'm still working through them, focusing on recognizing patterns and reinforcing muscle memory for problem-solving.
🎧 Language Learning Strategy
I’ve added a small twist to my daily English learning: listening to one 7-minute topic over the course of three days before switching to the next.
Why? I realized that I often miss even familiar words in fast, natural speech.
By doing this consistently for a year, I should be able to understand about 120 topics, covering most day-to-day situations — and roughly 4,600 words.
Right now I know about 500. Each week, I can deeply memorize 60–70 of the 84 I review. The rest usually settle in after a week or two.
🏓 Life Events
This period included:
My birthday 🎉
Meetings with some amazing people
A couple of tennis sessions
This meant I wasn’t home a lot and couldn’t stick to my usual routine. I managed to finish the weekly plan in just 3–4 days out of 7.
One practice that helps a lot: daily detailed memory recall of the previous 24 hours. Soon, I’ll try doing that for two days instead of one — memory training is part of the process too.
⚡ Electronics & Computer Fundamentals
I'm gradually working through basic electronics — essential for understanding how computers and other hardware actually work.
I’m not diving too deep; just getting the fundamentals. This will help me later when I move on to more practical, higher-level tech topics. I’m about to finish the current chapter and get to the fun stuff soon.
For the next log, I might share more details about my learning framework. For now, though, I’m slowing down the pace a bit — taking a couple of low-pressure days to recharge.
