So why do I have to learn it on leetcode to work at google?

  They're still looking for someone who can implement it!

    Now that question makes so much more sense. I bet today's interviews ask candidates to find quoted instances of strings in a query, and find exact matches in search text. Really groundbreaking stuff.

    I love the idea of interpreting every FAANG coding question this way. ie "Oh that's cool, you guys are having trouble duping a linked list with random pointers in your code base. I can totally do that for you. Good thing I memorized this on leetcode the other day."

  I came here for this. The one place where this might actually be a useful real world exercise, and yet, apparently not.
