Leetcode was never valuable, except as a "We need a measure. This is a measure. Therefore, we use it." kind of thing. There is no such thing as an impartial yet meaningful measure that can be equally applied across all candidates.

Exactly this. My NAS and hypervisor run on NixOS, but I'm probably going to replace them with Debian again once I get around to it. Immutability and reproducibility are nice, but not nice enough to put up with the crazy.
