Right but in some ways this is what they need. Someone who can stare at computer science material, that is probably boring, for long periods of time. Someone who has a good memory for details, can remember routines. Can "solve" problems that have been solved before by applying theory. Someone who is willing to follow the rules and go through the process.
- fogetti 6y agoI think you made a logical somersault. Leetcode doesn't imply any of those, neither good memory for details or that you can "solve" problems that have been solved before by applying theory. You missed the whole point of the OP's post it seems. The only thing that leetcode implies is that you can solve leetcode tasks.
- amznthrowaway5 6y agoLeetcode implies all of those, and just like in mathematics competitions, being able to solve these problems implies a high level of ability.
- fogetti 6y agoNope
- Peritract 6y agoRemembering the solution to a problem isn't the same as solving it. Testing if people can regurgitate solutions is at best pointless.
- logicslave 6y agoAlot of people cant do it. If facebook is paying 450k to developers who can regurgitate leetcode I'm willing to bet theres some signal there. Its a pretty big assertion to claim the opposite
