What’s wrong with a test that challenges your knowledge of data structures and algorithms? I actually find that in general the very smart people I know are good at them and most of the people who “don’t test well” aren’t. And even then they can just practice them. They might even learn something. Sorry if that sounds mean, I don’t mean it to be, just blunt. Not everyone sees these trivia games as a valuable use of our time. Some people have hobbies, some people have side projects that are of use. The leetecode problems don't test you for experience. They just demonstrate your ability to minimally code up a trivia problem. They don't show good coding practices, doc, or testing.
