The key is approaching them as puzzles that build problem decomposition skills applicable to real-world programming. Starting with structured roadmaps like arrays and hashing, then gradually building intuition through practice makes the experience rewarding. Three classic problems demonstrate different approaches: two-sum shows optimization from O(n²) to O(n) using hash maps, contains duplicate leverages sets for efficient lookups, and valid anagram can be solved through character counting or string sorting techniques. 96 2 2. 2 [](https://daily.dev/posts/you-need-to-try-ascii-animations-nzqduxael "You NEED to try ASCII ANIMATIONS") Video developedbyed·1y You NEED to try ASCII ANIMATIONS A comprehensive guide to creating ASCII animations from video files using a custom script that leverages ffmpeg for frame extraction and ImageMagick for pixel analysis. The tutorial covers converting MP4 videos into ASCII art frames, implementing a React animation manager for smooth playback, and applying visual effects like color overlays and blend modes. The approach provides more control than alternatives like After Effects filters or Three.js solutions while maintaining native performance. 66 2 [See all developedbyed archives](/sources/developedbyed/best-of) ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180},"sameAs":["https://twitter.com/dailydotdev","https://github.com/dailydotdev","https://www.linkedin.com/company/daily-dev-ltd"]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://daily.dev/#website","url":"https://daily.dev","name":"daily.dev","publisher":{"@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization"},"potentialAction":{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https://daily.dev/search?q={search_term_string}"},"query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"CollectionPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/sources/developedbyed/best-of/2025/07#page","url":"https://daily.dev/sources/developedbyed/best-of/2025/07","name":"Best developedbyed Posts — July 2025","description":"The most upvoted developedbyed posts from July 2025, curated by the daily.dev community.","isPartOf":{"@type":"WebSite","url":"https://daily.dev"}},{"@type":"ItemList","@id":"https://daily.dev/sources/developedbyed/best-of/2025/07#items","numberOfItems":2,"itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"url":"https://daily.dev/posts/leetcode-is-not-scary-it-s-actually-really-fun-ohi9yowgn","name":"Leetcode is not scary, it's actually really fun"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"url":"https://daily.dev/posts/you-need-to-try-ascii-animations-nzqduxael","name":"You NEED to try ASCII ANIMATIONS"}]},{"@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Home","item":"https://daily.dev"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"Sources","item":"https://daily.dev/sources"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"name":"developedbyed","item":"https://daily.dev/sources/developedbyed"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":4,"name":"Best of","item":"https://daily.dev/sources/developedbyed/best-of"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":5,"name":"July 2025"}]}]} ```
