Nice article - Leet code style interviews give minimal signal. The fact that we use the word Leetcode makes me think the company is hiring for the masses and it's going to be a boring job. I call such a company a Dinosaur.
I think companies should offer a choice to interviewers if they prefer to give code samples , an at home problem solving or an in-person exercise. This addresses careful thinkers, adapts for anxiety during an interview.
I do appreciate when companies ask relevant questions that they have come across rather than mundane Sudoku questions.
I have interviewed with a few companies, and Stripe's interview style stands out. Coding questions are relevant day to day style questions.
I would say Google, Amazon and Facebook set this trend and have spoiled it for all.
Unfortunately, some companies cannot think on their feet to set a different approach. Maybe it's in your best interest to avoid these places.
