> the correct answer is my answer. Even if yours also works, it is not my answer. That right there is probably what's actually wrong with the tech hiring. And that's why Leetcode, despite the disconnect of it from the real job, is actually better in my experience than free-flowing conversations "to gauge experience". There are only so many working answers to a leetcode challenge (p99 is less than 3) and yet there is an infinite space of things you can say in a conversation that will instantly bar you from passing the interview. And what's even worse, you can say the opposite things to 2 different interviewers at the same company and they will both disqualify you.
