That’s not why they were introduced. Leetcode using tools like hackerrank were introduced because college GPAs were very bad indicators of programming proficiency and a lot of people also did not have a CS degree.
The questions weren’t this bad before.
And these competitive programmers aren’t necessarily fast at learning things either.
- b20000 4y agoleetcode was introduced because the founder in india could not get a job because he didn’t have a degree. so he made a platform where people could prove how good they were. the trouble is that this just trains code monkeys to memorize optimal solutions to a set of problems and to quickly reproduce them. it does not optimize for real engineers who have the experience to build good software and to come up with creative solutions to hard problems.
