Leetcode
- Say NO to leetcode As a tech community, we need to stop entertaining these Leetcode quiz-based interviews, which are an insult to the actual tech experience that we gain across 10s of years of professional work. This practice completely undermines the real technical skills and has favored a fixed set of "good at memor
- Leetcode memorization problem I’m going through 75 list again, second time in a month. Forget about the solution or pattern, there are questions I don’t even remember seeing them before. I’m reading the description and thinking this must be a question I missed. Then I check the submissions to see a long commented solution from
- I hate LeetCode FB interview coming up. I have been doing LC since December - have kids so can only cram so much at once. At the point where I can do most mediums i haven’t seen in <15 minutes, hards in <30. Solutions are usually beating 60-80% on first correct submit. You might think I’m reasonably confident
- vote Leetcode language Finished 250 Leetcode questions in python and feeling confident with Python for LC. I have some interviews that's asking specifically for Java for coding interviews. Does anyone else feel java is way more verbose and 2-3x the lines of code as python. Been trying to practice java in Leetcode but it j

- In Defense of Leetcode Interviews Before you start hating, I'm not a fan of Leetcode interviews but I don't think it's entirely bad (for candidates). Here's why: 1. It opens up opportunities regardless of background. In many other high paying careers (wink wink Finance), good luck coming from a no-name school/company and joining a

I couldn’t even believe my ears when the recruiter told me my offer. I hadn’t done a whole lot of research on
- LeetCode obsession is getting ridiculous! Just had a chat with my cousin, who is in high school. His parents signed him up for a college counseling program, and one of the services they provide is linking up high schoolers with partner companies for short (think 6-8 week) UNPAID internships. Well the catch is, before you can actually find

- Stop asking leetcode hards Why do people ask leetcode hard for interviews? It makes no sense.
