Struggling to get back to DSA

Hi, I’m a full stack developer working in a startup. The startup culture here feels very tough, so I’m trying to move to a product-based company.

For that, I started learning DSA in Aug 2025, but due to work pressure I had to stop in Dec 2025. Now my project is finished and I have some free time after work.

But I’m feeling very unmotivated and not really interested to start again.

One reason is all this AI hype it feels like it’s growing and I’m not sure how it will affect things. Another reason is earlier on Reddit I used to see a lot of posts where people shared their interview experiences, how they learned DSA and cracked interviews. That used to motivate me a lot.

But in the last 2 months, those kinds of posts feel very rare compared to before.

Is anyone else feeling like this?
Does anyone have any motivation or positive news to share?
