A little ironic, because Leetcode interviews arguably send the message that the org is about nonsense hoop-jumping and politics.
Leetcode seems like the opposite of politics at least. Hoop jumping sure.
It's a signal of politics, too: at companies where the people who view that kind of hoop jumping as an important signal got their way, it means they won that political battle.
I don't get what you mean. Couldn't you equally claim that in companies that avoid leetcode interviews the anti-leetcode people won that political battle. I don't see why one option is more political than the other.
You're right, of course: the politics works both ways here.
I’m sure the topic of leetcode has been beaten to death on a forum such as this, but serious question: with ChatGPT, why WOULDNT I cheat, assuming the leetcode is the unmonitored/unproctored variety (most are this way)? Like seriously. We know the leetcode skill isn’t applicable to the actual duties and responsibilities of the job itself, so why not cheat, especially when ChatGPT makes it so easy?
