Kind of a blanket comment and seems a bit spiteful and unfair. Granted interviews at those companies could use a refresh and there are probably “leetcode” programmers there for sure, but there’s also plenty of talented developers at those companies.
I'd love to interview as a ' developer '. But I'm a crappy leet coder so I never get to that. I've blown quite a few FAANG interviews due to this.
To be fair, I'm self taught so I don't have a great data structure background. I've still had a good career though.
Did a ton of leet like coding in high school and forgot most of it. Pretty irrelevant to most jobs. Unless you build low level tooling then you really dont bubble sort on a daily basis.
