I despise Leetcode style problems because I think being asked to give an impromptu CS lecture is not a great interview technique. I wrote code in the interview for my current job, but it wasn’t “find the longest palindromic substring of a given string in linear time.”

So leetcode is code that is written by the interviewee during an interview? Sounds tough. I never had to do that. I would probably clam up and fail.

No, I don't want to solve leetcode style questions. Give me normal takehomes or at worst normal problems to solve on the computer.
