How to convince yourself that you have to start study algorithms?

You don't need to convince yourself of anything.
If it is something that doesn't work for you, it's okay to do something else that holds your interest.

On the other hand if it is something that you want to do but aren't able to maintain focus, use paper and pen when you are learning. Try to apply what you learnt to everyday situation.
If all fails, look at salaries on levels.fyi ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

@anux you rocks

Try some coding competions so that you have actual use cases for them. It's easier to grasp stuff if you have to implement them yourself in a situation where you actually need them.

@michezio Thank you, I will do it

Think it’s something you may actually end up liking! I ended up obsessing over the fact of how much time you save with log(n) algorithms and how this can be applied irl as well (e.g. finding a book or a card, if you play tcg)

Also the algorithms can be applied to everyday’s tasks, with a bit of creativity (for instance a cool book about it is: “algorithms to live by: the computer science of human decisions” by Brian Christian and atom Griffiths)

@GeorgeBool Have no idea 😂

@GeorgeBool Imagine Al Gore made a band...

Al Gore Rhythm

@GeorgeBool it’s something you have to feel in your soul, man. But just while you do algebra. Numbers flowing in the rhythm of your feelings.
