Didn't notice the username "dang_fan". Reading the usernames makes it even more funny.

Can you explain the joke in that username?

dragonwriter · 2025-12-09T16:45:30 1765298730

Consider the subject of the post, not just the username in isolation.

I don't get it

"persistence is key" and a site to for persisting at leetcode.

this kills the joke, however.

I thought they asked about the dang_fan username.

The user seems to be struggling at leetcode, so he needs some persistence to get there until he is able to do it.

“stop forgetting LeetCode patterns”

“persistence” (in the data sense, rather than the personality trait sense) “is key”

pityJuke · 2025-12-09T19:55:41 1765310141

it’s a double meaning, no? as the thing with leetcode is that the way to best it is persistently doing it.
