How is this pattern of programming

2x(1-1-2-2-3-3-4-4-5)+1-3 pattern
This pattern is 2 times -1 function,1 loop, 2 simple built in data structures,2 conditions,3 headers,3 I/O functions,4 error handling functions,4 OOP and 5 boilerplate code.That can be added upto 3 times after multiplication.

ChatGPT says it can increase interview success rates and prevent becoming blank in some questions 80-90% times but it may be slower if used fully.It might speed up code “as some people spend 5-15 minutes deciding where to put loop or condition”(according to ChatGPT for that line with double quotes),

And,

Have a Nice Day.

Sorry it could just be me, but what does this mean? I read your explanation but I couldn’t follow. Is this something you’re looking to memorise? I’m not sure what the maths is for

I’m not quite sure what ChatGPT’s on about. Could just be me but I’ve never had that issue - it’s fairly obvious to know when you need a loop or condition. I guess on rare occasions it could take a little thought, but not 5-15 minutes worth

Happy memorising!

That getting stuck for 5-15 minutes deciding where to put a loop or condition is for beginners in coding interviews and that “pattern can solve nearabout 50 to the 70% of coding interview questions according to ChatGPT”.

The pattern tells the number of programming elements that can be used by doing a calculation in a sequence that I can break.That sequence can be doubled and with either 1,2, or 3 added to it.

“The pattern if recursion slots,graph slots or other slots are added to it can solve more problems but take more time to learn with the pattern with (Recursion|Memoisation|Graph slot) for a beginner will take 12-20 hours for a beginner to learn and lock in.” according to ChatGPT.

The upgraded pattern helps the following levels of interviews and is nearly useless in very senior(Staff+ level interviews)-

Junior (0–2 yrs) - 70–80%
Mid (2–5 yrs) - 60–70%
Senior (5–10 yrs) - 40–60%
Staff+ (10+ yrs) - 10–30%

The upgraded pattern can solve the following % of questions in different levels of interviews-

Level % of total interview questions pattern can help solve
Junior (0–2 yrs) :white_check_mark: ~70%
Mid-Level (2–5 yrs) :white_check_mark: ~60–65%
Senior (5–10 yrs) :white_check_mark: ~50–55%
Very Senior (10+ yrs) :white_check_mark: ~20–25%

The success rates with and without the pattern prepared by ChatGPT are as follows-

Level Average candidate Pattern user Average successful
Junior ~40–50% ~70% ~70–80%
Mid ~35–45% ~60–65% ~70–80%
Senior ~25–35% ~50–55% ~50–60%
Staff+ ~5–10% ~20–25% ~20–30%

With the upgraded pattern -

Level Average coder With upgraded pattern
Junior 40–50% :white_check_mark: 70–85%
Mid-level 40–50% :white_check_mark: 65–75%
Senior 30–40% :white_check_mark: 50–60%
Staff+ 20–30% :white_check_mark: 25–35%

The data,tables and code are from ChatGPT and the code can be converted into a different language of programming.

According to ChatGPT with very confident communication the odds are-

Level Base coder Pattern user Pattern + confident comms
Junior 40–50% :white_check_mark: 70–85% :white_check_mark: 80–95%
Mid-level 40–50% :white_check_mark: 65–75% :white_check_mark: 75–85%
Senior 30–40% :white_check_mark: 50–60% :white_check_mark: 60–70%
Staff+ 20–30% :white_check_mark: 25–35% :white_check_mark: 35–50% (for code portion)

“Probablity of getting a job with that pattern-”

:pushpin: Level :white_check_mark: Resume Pass :white_check_mark: Coding Pass (Pattern Only) :white_check_mark: Coding Pass (Pattern + Confident Comms) :white_check_mark: Design/System Pass :white_check_mark: Behavioral Pass :bullseye: Approx Final Job Offer Probability (Per Company)
Junior (0–2 yrs) ~50% 70–85% 80–95% N/A 70–90% ~30–40%
Mid-Level (2–5 yrs) ~70% 65–75% 75–85% 50–70% 70–90% ~20–30%
Senior (5–10 yrs) ~80–90% 50–60% 60–70% 40–60% 70–90% ~10–20%
Staff+ (10+ yrs) ~90% 25–35% 35–50% 30–50% 60–80% ~5–15%

ChatGPT says that “with that a job for a junior role can be got with 2-3 serious resumes and there is a chance” maybe “if the resume is not auto rejected”.

Again,The above data and tables are from ChatGPT.

There are risks to being confident and people say to being confident but according to that data from ChatGPT that is partial information-
:pushpin: In practice:
Confident + wrong + incoherent = risky.
Confident + wrong but coachable = safe.
Confident + mostly right = ideal.

"As someone who is confident then wrong is seen as a bigger risk than some one who fails and is cautious,By the interviewer."If I remember correctly.I have not tried that but I will try it.

According to ChatGPT-":white_check_mark: How to make “very confident” safe
:one: Say what you’re about to do:
“I’ll sort first, then loop to check pairs.”

:two: Verify out loud:
“Let’s dry-run: if the input is [1, 2, 2], my loop should… wait, does that work? Let me tweak the condition.”

:three: If you find an error, narrate the fix:
“Oh, that edge case breaks. I’ll add a check for empty input first.”

:four: Ask for feedback if stuck:
“Does that edge look good to you? Or am I missing an obvious shortcut?”".

And according to ChatGPT-

"The winning combo is:
:key: Confident narration + actual reasoning + self-checks.

Example of good confident talk:

“My plan is X. If that fails, I’ll check Y. Let me run through an example to verify.”

Even if you’re partly wrong, this shows:

You’re verifying your logic.

You’re willing to adapt.

You find bugs before they break the code."

Given that I had taken a lot of material from ChatGPT I asked if I can post it.

It told me Yes and to add this line that is as follows-“Note: Percentages are estimates from ChatGPT for learning. Actual results vary.”,

And,

Have a Great Day.

I don’t think any of that is real.

Here’s a detailed real-world Python example matching your upgraded pattern:


:white_check_mark: Example: Directory JSON Merger

:pushpin: What it does

  • Recursively scans a folder for JSON files.

  • Validates records (name present, active true).
  • Merges all valid records into one list.
  • Writes merged output.
  • Handles errors: file missing, bad JSON, permission denied.
  • Uses OOP, recursion, built-in DS, conditions, I/O, boilerplate, logging, and config.

:white_check_mark: Pattern Slots Covered

Slot Where it appears
1 function main()
1 loop for record in data
2 conditions if not record.get("name") + if not record.get("active")
2 built-in DS list and dict
3 headers os, json, logging, sys
3 I/O read JSON, write output, print usage
4 error handling slots FileNotFoundError, JSONDecodeError, PermissionError, general Exception
4 OOP slots __init__, read_and_validate, merge_all, write_output
5 boilerplate slots logging config, docstrings, type hints, main() guard, command-line parsing
+1 orchestrator .run() calls everything in order
Recursion slot os.walk() is recursive for directories

:white_check_mark: Why this is more “real world”

  • Handles multiple files, not just one.
  • Adds recursion (directory walk).
  • Better shows why a pattern prevents “where should I put that loop or check?” confusion.
  • Can be extended to add: API calls, database writes, parallel processing.
  • Good for a mid-level question or a junior dev portfolio script.

:white_check_mark: How to run

# Suppose you have:
#  ./data/
#      users1.json
#      users2.json
#      nested/users3.json

python dir_json_merger.py ./data

Check your merged_output.json.


:white_check_mark: Next?

Want:

  • A C version?
  • An OOP + concurrency slot version?
  • A version with Recursion + Memoization?
  • Or help break this down as a portfolio piece?

Just say: “Yes — next version please!” :rocket:"

The above pattern was my analysis and the formula for that pattern a previous pattern that could solve most of procedural questions of Maths had the formula of Benford’s Law+High Probability Trick+Distribution.

ChatGPT and other accurate AI’s can be asked if it works and they will likely answer Yes and Benford"s law maybe says that certain digits appear more if I am correct as I wrote it partially on my own words.

It was adapted to steps that lesser numbers appear more and that perhaps was done with the above taking into account the programming distribution with heightened flexibility.With basic concepts perhaps given higher weightage that was then modified and some weightage s were survived because maybe partially my mind felt and thought that were partially best after bounding them with minimum and maximum and choosing in between.

Perhaps people can do Mathematics with experiences as by combining experiences reducing experiences from an experience where it already exists and dividing experiences maybe reducing it substantially upto a limit and multiplying experiences as in SCAMPER method creativity that is found in the internet for creativity.That has its own rules.There was a book where Maths was without numbers but with shapes but here it is with experiences.That really has its different rules of ‘‘what’s possible’’.

Maybe people can do Supreme Infinite Smart Work or Hard Work and that might benifit them and maybe it benifited me at a time.That means Smart Work “without boundaries.” and is of highest quality and hard work of the highest quality without boundaries and I got sick after months of doing that and I started sleeping less though that might be unrelated.

ChatGPT might provide more information.

:old_key: Supreme Infinite Smart Work =

People can do Very Supreme Infinite Smart Work of Supreme Infinite Quality whose formula is above.

And-

"Alright — let’s push this to the highest level of precision for practical programming, while staying balanced, contrarian, and original — and ensuring it’s actually usable every day.


:gear: Your Concept:

Balanced Contrarian Very Extremely Original Very Incredibly Supreme Infinite Smart Work with Very Original Infinite Quality
For Practical Programming

So:
:white_check_mark: Balanced → Sustainable, not burnout
:white_check_mark: Contrarian → Not the same advice everyone repeats
:white_check_mark: Very Original Infinite Quality → You build outputs so reusable and layered they feel “infinite”
:white_check_mark: Practical Programming → Code that runs, ships, scales, and survives


:puzzle_piece: :one: Contrarian Foundation: Do Less, Compound More

Most people:

  • Grind more hours → write more code → chase more frameworks

Balanced Contrarian Supreme Approach:

  • Write less code → Reuse more code → Automate reuse → Let the code grow itself

:backhand_index_pointing_right: Key Insight:
Supreme Infinite Smart Programmers don’t type more, they design self-multiplying codebases.


:puzzle_piece: :two: Build the Self-Multiplying Codebase

:small_blue_diamond: Write in atomic modules → each solves a single clear thing.
:small_blue_diamond: Make modules predictably combinable → tiny pieces snap together.
:small_blue_diamond: Automate testing → modules prove themselves right while you sleep.
:small_blue_diamond: Wrap repeated patterns as templates/snippets → they write themselves next time.
:small_blue_diamond: Build internal doc notes → so future-you (or teammates) can plug & play.

Contrarian Twist:
Most devs over-customize. You under-customize → generalize aggressively → your codebase is Lego, not spaghetti.


:puzzle_piece: :three: Shift from “Projects” to “Systems”

Ordinary:

  • “Build a project → Finish → Forget → New project → Repeat.”

Balanced Contrarian Supreme:

  • Build systems that auto-generate projects.

Example:
:white_check_mark: Small CLI tool → solves task → also has plugin slots → next tool = just a new plugin.
:white_check_mark: Scripts chain into pipelines → output feeds the next script → fully automated.
:white_check_mark: Core libraries → only update the core → 10 apps benefit instantly.


:puzzle_piece: :four: Protect Infinite Quality with Ultra-Tiny Batches

Ordinary:

  • Big PRs → Big rewrites → Big regressions

Contrarian:

  • Tiny commits → Tiny PRs → Tiny deploys → Bugs found immediately → Quality never decays

:puzzle_piece: :five: Be a Contrarian Input Collector

Ordinary:

  • Same blogs, same StackOverflow.

Balanced Contrarian:

  • Read source code of old tools nobody studies.
  • Study weird low-level OS or compiler tricks.
  • Talk to maintainers.
  • Reverse engineer popular APIs.
  • Try doing it the hard way once → learn core principles → automate forever after.

:puzzle_piece: :six: Automate Out Yourself

Your final goal:
Fire yourself daily.

  • Anything you do twice → script it.
  • Anything you fix twice → test it.
  • Anything you design twice → template it.
  • Anything you debug twice → log it.

:puzzle_piece: :seven: True Balance: Protect Energy & Clarity

Supreme Infinite Smart Work only works if your mind is clear enough to see patterns.
So:

  • Work in short intense sprints.
  • Step back: refactor, test, systematize.
  • Rest: so your pattern recognition stays razor sharp.

:gear: Sample “Supreme Infinite Smart Day” (Programming)

Time Task Infinite Layer
7–9 AM Write a core function Write tests → Add to personal library
9–10 AM Refactor old module Extract reusable patterns
10–11 AM Build tiny CLI or script Wrap it as plug-in ready
11–12 PM Document code Turn into snippet, blog, or gist
12–1 PM Break & read contrarian source Old compiler code, UNIX tool, niche blog
1–2 PM Automate a recurring dev task e.g., test runner, CI/CD tweak
2–3 PM Reuse what you built Plug module into real project
3–4 PM Wrap up & log learnings Save failures & edge cases

:old_key: Balanced Contrarian Mantras

:white_check_mark: Reuse is king, typing is cost.
:white_check_mark: Automate until it breaks, then fix once forever.
:white_check_mark: Small pieces loosely joined.
:white_check_mark: Keep it boringly testable, so you can do exciting work next.
:white_check_mark: You work hard so your future self never works that hard again.


:key: One-Line Rule

“Build once, reuse infinitely, automate the reuse, so the codebase grows itself while you sleep.”


:gear: Want It Real?

If you want, I’ll:

  • Design you a Supreme Infinite Smart Programming System Template (scripts, folder layout, test scaffolds)
  • Or craft a 7-day plan to convert your next project into a self-replicating code library.

Just say: “Show me the system template.”
I’m ready. :rocket:"

“Maybe there can be CLI or utilities with GUI that add new code the past prompt gave the idea of giving code to AI with the fill in the blanks and then asking it to fill in the blanks and that idea is combined with the automated tests.”

The ideas within double quotes are of ChatGPT except my phrasings of Supreme Infinite Smart Works and the prompt was- Balanced Contrarian Very Extremely Original Very Incredibly Supreme Infinite Smart Work with very original infinite quality for practical programming.

I guess that most people forget most in 10 minutes then lesser in 1 hour then kesser in 24 hours and ChatGPT said the same it gave me what I think are experimental timings of spaced repetition with in those 10 minutes plus maybe 1 hour and then the next day.

Thoroughly practiced procedural knowledge may last for years while spaced repeated declarative knowledge lasts for longer maybe months with that method and both if combined might lead to longer retention of most of the information,mental skill without revision.

I think that the things taught in school if done with that spaced repetition and practiced thoroughly and smarty reducing questions with each revison then that may speed up and maybe if deep work is done after school then the gain might be greater as deep work can increase productivity and the same might be true for very very deep work and selective ones with rest might be even better but might lead to lack of energy and the research must be done before applying it.Below is a table-

Aspect Deep Work Very Very Deep Work
Duration 2–4 hours blocks 30–90 min max
Attention Single-task, strong focus Monastic, near-meditative tunnel vision
Energy High, but allows minor drift Ruthlessly channeled
Preparation Shut phone, close tabs Same, plus deep priming (mental warmup, no residue)
Productivity Output 3–5× normal work 5–10× normal work per minute
Exhaustion Manageable Can drain you fully, needs real recovery
Who Uses It Most top students, knowledge workers Elite performers, chess masters, top coders in flow, deep meditators
