>So interviews should be an easy cakewalk that everyone can pass, but they aren't.
For a person with no CS degree this is definitely not easy and being flippant and saying it is is disingenuous.
- mwigdahl 5y agoIt's rejecting academic _credentials_ as a proxy for programming competence. Say what you will about it, Leetcode requires you to demonstrate actual capability, and it's used precisely because a CS degree in and of itself does not accurately signify the presence or absence of that capability.
- adamsmith143 5y agoBut it doesn't, it reflects your training in solving DS and Algo problems from undergrad CS curriculum. I think its almost universally agreed at this point that Algo interviews don't have anything to do with day to day work and don't demonstrate development ability.
