I find it much more easily to have grit when it comes to dating/romance. I already feel it, it's a few orders of magnitude higher, at least on an emotional level that is. The strong motivator there is the rebellious belief/thought of "I won't be ignored! I deserve love too!" (I think everyone does). It's a trauma (little t) response. I'm married nowadays because of that drive, I'm currently reading the 7 Principles To Make Marriage Work.
But leetcode? In a good week, I do like 5 problems.
I mean if it works for you and you enjoy doing it, great but don't pretend it's for a higher purpose. It just sounds like Kool-Aid.
We don't demand surgeons to grind Leetcode for their interviews, nor we ask lawyers to solve trick gotcha questions.
Other industries recognize and value professional experience and are able to determine a candidate's quality with sane interview processes.
I enjoyed your comment though! It’s food for thought
