Very much this. I've never actually done a single leetcode problem and never will. Recruiters will tell you what the interview process is like (if not, just ask). If it is based on whiteboard puzzles like this, just refuse. Be sure to tell them why you're not interested!
We can improve the maturity of hiring in this industry but only if we collectively refuse to participate in these bad practices.
- egfx 5y agoVery much not this in the frontend development world! By the way I had this same thought (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17080251 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17080251) As long as newbie frontend engineers out of coding bootcamp continue dominating the hiring market this will never change. It's factory mentality.
