I think you’re missing the point of the parent post. In terms of an investment in your career, if you’re optimising for money, it’s hard to argue that learning to do Leetcode can have huge returns. Whether it actually makes you a better developer is a different issue entirely
- ChrisMarshallNY 4y ago> I think you’re missing the point of the parent post. It's also possible that I didn't "miss the point." They did ask "Why not". It may have been rhetorical, but I pretended that it wasn't. Of course, like all these types of things, I have my own approach. It's fine, if others don't want to do things the way that I do, but I'm not into playing "Me Big Man on Campus" games. I just talk about the way that I do stuff, and my own approach. For me, I can't even imagine "job hopping." I stayed at my last job, 27 years. If "job hopping" is someone's idea of a career, then I guess leetcode is the way to go. But if we want to stick around, that means that we can't just have a veneer of competence. We need to actually have it.
