OP is right. Some of u are misunderstanding him.

As a juinor as per Naija guy. Push the DSA till later. Learn something then get a job, then continue with DSA latter.

DSA, DSA. The main thing na to sabi code. Most of the thight men no to sabi DSA from my observation. I am just guessing this part.

People will learn and understand DSA better after they get a foot hold in the industry.

Remote guys make una press me small bah na.

No, don't push the DSA till later. Like many senior Developers have mentioned it's key for a strong foundation.
I have been doing 1 DSA challenge per day on LeetCode since Nov 2023 (over 150 problems solved currently).
I recommend same approach for all fellow Junior Developers.
Practice makes perfect!

Very interesting thread. 3 years. I hope the dozens of people that claimed they were starting out learning Tech eventually made something out of it 3 years later. Peace and regards to all!

At least they're more lucky than those just starting out now.
They would have had 3+ years of experience while newbies will be getting knocked by job market that favours only experience.
