I think take-home projects might take the same amount of time as leetcode, when you count studying, but are much less stressful. As long as enough time is given. This really doesn't fix the problem of breaking into CS, and it's no

I love that you have a citation for 2 * 100 million = 200 million. I've seen papers where the use of "=" sweeps a lot of non-trivial equalities under the rug, but this is the first time I've seen something go the other w
