If you're a midwit developer you can't hate leetcode

>100x easier than real programming since the requirements are laid out in front of you and each problem only needs a 30 minute attention span
>companies reinterview so much that you can interview 2 or 3 or even more times to get in so the average employee has less than a 50% interview pass rate
>is the reason why you can make 150k+ starting without knowing what a REST api, no joke some of the new grads don't know what HTTP is and they still all make six figures

Do people actually use leetcode?
I just read picrel and implement each new algorithm I see. I am half way done.

yes, specific leetcode questions will directly be asked during interviews
it's good to know the fundamentals, but it's even better to also have experience solving the exact questions you'll be asked during a whiteboard tech interview
there's no excuse to not be able to solve leetcode easies
i prefer building projects, but the interview meta forces you to be familiar with LC if you want high odds of success

>interviews
I am not a cuck. If a company wants to me to do work, they will send an offer, and if I accept, I will work for them. Once the work they hired me for is complete, I will leave.

leetcode not resembling real programming is what makes it cancer. it's led to companies hiring people that are good at basic math and solving dumb puzzles but are as good at engineering software as a syphilitic woman

cope
how about they are good at both leetcode and software engineering?

like 20% of the time, sure.
the only actual function of leetcode is to be a de facto IQ test to thin out applicants because the industry is oversaturated

Are you employed? I wish this mindset worked for me. Interview procedures are fucked now. Too many shitters fell for the "learn2code" meme, and now we need these arbitrary tests to filter out the fraudulent shitters.
Shit sucks.

Companies have the mindset of: "Well, if this guy can solve LC questions, surely he'll be smart enough to learn our stack & procedures after we onboard him."
In their minds, it's better to have somebody who's at least capable of learning LC, than it is to have a fraud with a copied portfolio, inflated experience, and zero practical skills, who will be incapable of fully onboarding.
>wtf is a for loop? and why do arrays exist? fuck this
>why can't i just use a template & copy code from stackoverflow? AHHHH

It is what it is

>Are you employed?
Currently, not, otherwise I wouldn't be on Any Forums. When I work, I want to finish the job to standard, as quickly as possible.

There are plenty of people in tech that need work done and have money burning.

>hates leetcode
>is unemployed
many such cases.
