> I have written more code than most people If by most people you mean non-programmers, then maybe. Otherwise it sounds like a whining of a B-player who just realized they've never had skills sufficient for NFL. The fact of the matter is the better you're in understanding CS and the underlying mathematical domains, the easier the leetcode questions get, it always has been and always will be. And contrary to most beliefs, you don't have to memorize individual problems. You learn the domains of problems and solve them with the same repeating methods. But most people just prefer spending their time on infortainment and being presumptious on Twitter, than actually learning stuff.

Are you up for coaching? Sounds like you'd be a fun stern coach (well I think someone stern is fun). Just for like 15 to 30 min. per week, nothing much. My email is in my profile. About me in short: 2 bachelors, 2 masters (bsc: psych, CS, msc: game-design, CS). Software engineer for 4 years Teacher (programming) for 2 years 300 leetcode questions done (not sure if I'm doing it for interview prep or fun or both, don't need to go the leetcode route anymore but I find it a rewarding endeavor) I sometimes expand my math capabilities for funzies My email is in my profile

Yeah that or wasting their time working on open-source or side projects, which typically has a poor return on investment. One of the biggest things I learned after years of trying to work in open-source is that it is not worth it (financially). The employers who pay the best salaries do not care unless the project you work on is very closely related. Even then, you are way, way better off grinding Leetcode instead.

Open source is a thing, as are independent commercial software projects. The tragedy of Leetcode is means the best financial ROI for programmers in aggregate is essentially play programmer Soduko instead of spending their time creating novel and useful software.
