Tbf: - I was towards bottom of the class for a significant chunk of the course - It's been a while since I reviewed/wrote algorithms (but having gotten a good grade in the DSA course, it raises eyebrows) - I only recently started doing LeetCode (< a week). It's getting progressively easier, and I might just be rusty. But again, it doesn't negate your point.
Now that it's been suggested twice, seeking to study in or move to the US seems like a plausible cause of action. Given my overall GPA won't be outstanding, I will be pretty limited if I am looking to join an MSc program.
I love computer science and programming in general, so I am not about to give that up. I guess once in a while I need someone to consult or do stuff together with—like when I've been stuck on a bug for a while.
I will try to create that "custom" overarching framework. Hard to get right, but it might be fruitful.
This is quite encouraging, thanks!
I cannot say why I can't solve the easy problems on LeetCode. But I should point out I only recently started attempting them, and it sure is getting easier.
Despite the downsides of schools/boot-camps, I believe they give you an okay outline of a specific field.

I (m, 23) will be graduating from a university in Kenya with a CS degree at the end of the year. However, I feel like I barely know anything. I hardly attended classes in my first and second year. I upped my grades in my third year and was even among the top in the class (anecdotally). To be honest, I’ve always felt like our CS course was inferior. For example, I did a Computer Graphics course,...
