Hi.

Shayan asked if he could interview me and I said "Why not?" The thing will happen in the near future on Shayan's YouTube channel Algorithms with Shayan.

Meanwhile, you can join his community in Discord and send questions to me on a special channel. Or you can ask the questions in the comments here.

I will not monitor the comments because I don't want to know the questions beforehand. Shayan will choose the most interesting questions to be featured in the interview!

In the recent interview with Shayan, alireza_kaviani said that he believes in a natural ceiling for everyone. However, in one of your previous AMAs,I think you said that anyone can become GM (which kind of means you don't believe in a natural ceiling). What is your opinion on that?

Also, do you have a favorite problem category(constructive, ad-hoc, dp, graph, geometry, combinatorics etc)?

I have 5 Questions: -When did your journey start in the world of CP? -Does your family encourage you to become better in CP or your school or it's just a coincidence that you entered this world and became good in it? -Does CP is your main job (Your source of income) or it's became something like habit to you? -Are you really enjoying it? -If you had a little brother and you want him to became a LGM in the future how would you make him practice and love this world (CP world).

1 question 2 situations

Context:
Let's imagine that you agreed to work as a problem-solving tutor.

The question: How much do you charge per hour for tutoring?

Situation #1: 1-on-1 tutoring, or it can be a group of a small number of students.
Situation #2: Getting hired by a university to coach their students and teams.

Also, I like to add a general non-personal follow-up question: In your opinion, how much should someone with regular skills (bellow GM) charge per hour on average?

The reason behind the question is the lack of information about these criteria.

  1. When you studying mathematics/physics, did you focus in theory or practice part?

  2. Is it possible to reach red if you do not have a coach? In other words, is a coach play an important role in reaching good level in competitive programming?

  3. If the textbooks were your friends during the university, what are your tips for reading this type of books productively?

Thanks Shayan for this opportunity to learn from great programmer (=
