Competitive programming™ is a terrible way of learning programming, it's riddled with bad practices. You can of course use such sites to get problems you can solve, but don't try to learn patterns or anything from it. You could also use sites like https://adventofcode.com/ which also present problems but in a way more fun way and without hinting at stupid patterns because they leave the coding entirely in your hands (unlike leetcode which imposes that straightup retarded Solution class).
