Why would you fail it though if you have written more code than most people (assuming most people means most people in tech and not most people worldwide in general since most people are not software developers), and published in A* venues
- Spivak 2y agoBecause these kinds of questions are coding trivia and your ability to do them is a function of having seen them before. Having to study for an interview kinda defeats the point, no? I'm so glad I'm on the ops side where these kinds of games aren't common. At best you'll get some light Linux userspace trivia.

Because why the heck would I ever do that? The point is that LeetCode does not test the actual skill set of writing useful code, it tests how much you’ve grinded LeetCode.
