Does anyone else just enjoy leetcode? I think it's fun.

  I like doing the dynamic programming questions.

  I enjoy it, and I like working the Euler problems, but I'm sure I'd still crash and burn if I encountered it in an interview.

  No.

  Only after shifting from a goal-oriented mindset to a process-oriented mindset; I now just love improving my intuitive structural thinking ability, and LC is for nothing more than that.

  I enjoy it as a standalone. I hated it at first, but it's actually quite fun as a standalone activity. I don't enjoy the fact that being a Professional Leetcoder (not a Professional Software Engineer) seems to be the requirement to successfully and reliably (as opposed to eeking through with luck) pass the interview gate at most of the better companies to work at (I'm not just referring to FAANG). I don't enjoy the fact that I need to put on a circus show act that pretends I can serendipitously come up with the optimal solution to a problem handling all obscure edge cases within 20 minutes. I don't enjoy the fact that almost everything I do at work is close to meaningless for career progression because very little of it is relevent to passing the interview (usually only touched upon in a "system design" round).

  yea i do leetcode to "relax" and distract myself from life problems for a little bit. Almost like meditation but more relaxing.
