Too bad you prefaced this with 'Americans'. The rest is probably true. I feel some people love the feeling of power when they are interviewing someone.

If someone can not answer my trick question I want to know why not and what question can they answer that I don't know.

I am looking for people better than me and the inability not to answer my favourite question may not mean they are not better.

The ability to answer leetcode or build something great, from scratch, are without a doubt, not the same thing.

The only unfortunate thing, is many people are bullshitting about their achievements and expertise and leetcode does tend to filter out the worst of them quickly.

Yeah, I shouldn't have written that. The comment comes from a place of frustration with the interview process and my perceived cultural differences with how people who grew up in the US interview candidates and test whether they are a fraud or a bullshitter VS how people from other backgrounds interview. Too late to remove the comment now. My mistake.

>Americans

>They cannot build anything

What are you basing this on?
