The problem with leet code is what it really measures is how long you have spent on leetcode. Yes, you can solve the problems if you have experience, but you are not going to look as good as someone who had done that specific problem on lee

> You just append ‘reply in json with this format’ and it does a really good job. It does an ok job. Except when it doesn't. Definitely misses a lot of the time, sometimes on prompts that succeeded on previous runs.

I'm thinking of getting an apple watch with the cell phone. It's not usable for web surfing and other addictions, but it still has phone, messages, and maps, which are what I really can't do without. Anyone tried this?
