It's not just leetcode it's that most people in this industry are hiding the most simple truth: they cannot judge what you know or don't. Full-stop. I find most technical interviews comical, it's pretty cute watching some nerds try to front on you with horribly worded questions. FWIW-- Leetcode is a fucking game at best, if anyone is judging people's qualification for employment by "leetcode" they may as well be yelling from mountaintops "I do not know shit! I have no meaningful way to judge or ascertain talent, nor do I find it even worthwhile to try to... so here I stand before you to stroke my ego!" Go read code, make things that are fun for you to do or build. That's what will you get you hired... The reason leetcode isn't helping you is because they're acts of pedantry, they aren't there to teach you anything useful. When some shit website like that drops a problem akin to: "a deadline was dropped on your desk of yesterday, you have 18gbs of CSVs to go through (w/ half of the file encoded as TSVs), github is down, and if you don't get this data parsed by the end of the day the firms biggest client is going to leave... You can't deploy because there's no trust in your organization and the "principals" are out... Your project manager is "out sick" for the fourth time this month. What do you do?" [x] Totally un-fun. [x] Realistic. [x] Boring (see realistic). [x] Involves zero squares or square roots (wtf, fellow nerds, why is everything a stupid[1] math problem). [1] Mathematics is fucking sweet, taking the square of fucking[2] numbers or the norm of a vector is so boring I'd rather gouge out my god damn eyes than ever even read a fucking sentence of it... [2] Lol, "fucking numbers" would that be numbers that fuck?
