As developers, we want to stay updated with high-quality tech content without the noise.</p> <p>That’s exactly why I decided to build my very first browser extension: Dev.to News Feed.</p> <p>🚀 <strong>What it does</strong></p> <p>It brings the latest, trendiest, and most important tech blogs from the Dev.to community directly into your Firefox browser. No distractions, just pure developer knowledge.</p> <p><a href="https://media2.dev.to/dynamic/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto%2Cformat=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fdev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fuploads%2Farticles%2Fzf3ygv98c3gl2oi5yu2d.png" class="article-body-image-wrapper"><img src="https://media2.dev.to/dynamic/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto%2Cformat=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fdev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fuploads%2Farticles%2Fzf3ygv98c3gl2oi5yu2d.png" alt="Dev.to News Feed in action" width="800" height="380"></a></p> <p>🧠 <strong>The Journey</strong></p> <p>This was my first time coding a browser extension, and honestly, it was an amazing learning experience. But the absolute best part? Real users are already installing it and adding it to their daily workflows. Knowing that something I built is helping other engineers is an incredible feeling.</p> <p>If you are a Firefox user and want a clean tech feed, you can add it here:<br> 👉 <a href="https://addons.mozilla.org/it/firefox/addon/dev-to-news-feed/" rel="noopener noreferrer">Dev.to News Feed on Firefox Add-ons</a></p> <p>I’d love to hear your thoughts, feedback, or feature requests. What should I add next?</p> <p>Peace! ✌️</p> webdev programming career productivity CEO Tue, 19 May 2026 08:34:05 +0000 https://dev.to/theitalianceo/how-to-learn-data-structure-363f https://dev.to/theitalianceo/how-to-learn-data-structure-363f <p><strong>Data Structure</strong>, two words that awake every coder, it seems like a monster (<em>it is, partly</em>) because it is difficult at first.</p> <p>By being difficult, a lot of beginner <strong>quit</strong> before they succed...<br> It is not meant to be like this, but <strong>How Can You Learn Data Structure?</strong></p> <h2> Learn the Basic </h2> <ul> <li>Pick your <strong>preferred</strong> programming language, learn the basics of it.</li> <li>Go to <div class="crayons-card c-embed text-styles text-styles--secondary"> <div class="c-embed__content"> <div class="c-embed__body flex items-center justify-between"> <a href="https://neetcode.io/" rel="noopener noreferrer" class="c-link fw-bold flex items-center"> <span class="mr-2">neetcode.io</span> </a> </div> </div> </div> or to <div class="crayons-card c-embed text-styles text-styles--secondary"> <div class="c-embed__content"> <div class="c-embed__body flex items-center justify-between"> <a href="https://leetcode.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" class="c-link fw-bold flex items-center"> <span class="mr-2">leetcode.com</span> </a> </div> </div> </div> and create an account .</li> </ul> <h2> Your First Problem </h2> <p>Now, that you are all set, pick an easy problem like the <strong>Contains Duplicate</strong> one.</p> <ol> <li>Read <em>carefully</em> the problem and tell yourself: <u>what is the problem asking me?</u> </li> <li> <strong>Think LOUDLY</strong>, it stimulates your brain thinking, and try to code a pseudo-code even on paper.</li> <li>Now, you can code your solution, it doesn't have to be the optimal one but the one that works.</li> <li> <strong>Ask</strong> yourself, <u>Can I optimize my solution?</u> </li> <li>Search on Google, other solutions and other data structure, like: <strong>binary search, hashmap</strong> (these are famous).</li> </ol> <p>The <u>TRICK</u> is to not give up and if you are stuck on a problem, even if it is an easy one, learn the solution and learn why it works.</p> <p><strong>If you do this trick, you can't be stopped</strong></p> <p>From a coder, to a coder.
