Correct. And as far as I can tell, devops folks don’t do leetcode interviews. Most SREs don’t either. At my last interview process (in June) I was being hired into a more seasoned role where experience matters more than code chops. There was an algorithms question but the biggest weight was put on the “Can you design a distributed microservice infrastructure with good tradeoffs and solid relational modeling” Series A company so it’s conceivable that I’ll be involved in all parts of the stack. If I just did well on algorithms (I didn’t) and nothing else, it would be a hard no hire. But they were very impressed when I said “Eh for this load, you don’t need horizontal scaling except for redundancy”
