Yeah, been thinking of getting back into it again, mostly out of boredom. But I also view it as an inane and stupid task. It seems like this industry values leetcode over interviewing for breadth and depth of subject matter.
We don't do this to doctors and lawyers, or most other professions.
- decafninja 4y agoIt’s stupid I agree. But that’s the current meta of the game, and no one of any influence seems to want to change it. You could say homework is becoming an alternative, but that is egregious for its own reasons, and is more often in addition to leetcode, not instead of. Homework also does not scale - at least leetcode skills scale horizontally across many different companies’ interviews. The irony is that solving leetcode is actually fun - if it wasn’t associated with the pressure and burden of deciding the fate of a potentially career and life changing interview.
