> People that never done LC problems probably don’t even know how to implement some data structures. So when they face a difficult problem they will probably just use a brute force approach. You don't need leetcode for that. It's sufficient to talk about datastructures. In fact, that is a much better and actually reasonable thing to do in an in an interview. > I also like these questions because you can ask them to any kind of software developer, from frontend to DevOps. Only those that will apply at your place, which will exclude me if you require a leetcode interview. So, in fact, you will be biased by prefiltering candidates. It's like when companies say "we only hire the top 1%" and I ask "the top 1% of all engineers or the top 1% of the engineers that chose to apply at your company?"
