Story: From First Challenge to First Offer

A junior named Lina froze on an easy two-sum. She wrote test cases by hand, noticed patterns, and asked for targeted hints. Comment if you remember your first breakthrough and what finally made the logic click.

Story: From First Challenge to First Offer

By week four, Lina recognized sliding windows and frequency maps. She tracked mistakes in a notebook and reviewed weekly. Share one pattern you finally internalized, and tag a resource that made it stick.
