Well it would appear that leet code is easily replaceable. Not even sure why people would get paid to rewrite algorithms that can easily be imported from existing libraries. But actual development will take a while to be replaced. A developer does much more than write code. And good developers already know they should use off the self solutions for repetitive tasks. So at most this type of tooling will help, but it wont be anywhere near what their evangelists and the media claims it to be.
- alfalfasprout 4y agoIf anything this is proof that leetcode is a terrible test of if someone is a good engineer. All it tests for is if you don't have a family and are willing to spend hundreds of hours on "training for the test" (eg; memorizing coding puzzles).
- yrgulation 4y agoA good memory indeed. Most of the leet code stuff is something i studied in highschool. Since then, everything of that sort was an import from a library followed by a function call. I forgot all of it, and have never had a need to do it again. Of course there are low level programming tasks that need it but i simply fail to understand their purpose. Perhaps i am in a different market all together because i never felt the need to interview someone based on leet code either and i’ve met some very smart people. Who knows, maybe i am wrong.
