Honestly I don't really care about a candidate's previous projects. It's fun to talk about if we have the time for sure, especially if it's immediately relevant

Honestly I don't really care about a candidate's previous projects. It's fun to talk about if we have the time for sure, especially if it's immediately relevant to the role. I want to get a glimpse into how the candidate is going to handle our tech stack, our code base, not one of their old code bases. I still think this is very possible to learn without LeetCode (which I also disdain and never use).
