This is pretty hilarious. If you spend any time on CS career forums like /r/csMajors or /r/cscareerquestions, you realize that peoples strategy appears to be “grinding leetcode” for hours and hours until they can regurgitate the exact question that they’re asked on the interview. It’s gotten to the point where some people are terrified at the prospect that they won’t get a question that they know already. As if figuring out the question in the interview is just such an impossibility.
It’s quite sad because it reflects an attitude that problem solving is too stressful/challenging, so people will take the route of blind busywork to avoid actually solving problems. Granted leetcode problems are pretty useless and stupid. I don’t fault people for coming up with a stupid solution to a stupid problem.
