You'll find me strange, but I find more enjoyment in a leetcode than in implementing a "hard-CS thing". Probably because it's easier and you're a better engineer than I am. Note that I would never require leetcode during a job interview. However, a single LC question is a small-sized puzzle I can solve in a day (or a weekend). If I want to write a ray tracer, well... Good bye life for a week or two. In other words, I have difficulties finding 50+ hours of large chunks of time to be unavailable to my family in my supposed off time. Leetcode I can do on a couch while my SO watches Games of Thrones.

>Probably because it's easier and you're a better engineer than I am. Not necessarily! Maybe you just like puzzles? I don't. >In other words, I have difficulties finding 50+ hours of large chunks of time to be unavailable to my family in my supposed off time. If that's all that's stopping you from working on a ray-tracer, I think it's "just" a time-management problem. I work in increments ranging from 30 minutes to 2h. The trick is to schedule them, or at the very least, to have some kind of issue tracking system for yourself so that you can find an appropriately-sized chunk of work for those serendipitous 20 mins.
