>Consider the following alternative scenario: instead of leetcode, what if you focused all of your efforts on finding ANY programming job? Because I don't just want ANY programming job.

Those sites are an opportunity for you or for me, less talented and gifted people, to provide value where the rock stars wouldn't deign to work. I'm not interested in those opportunities. That's why I've been studying Leetcode as hard as I can, to get something better than my intellect deserves.
