Leetcode overrated

I didn't like the interface. The product felt kind of clunky. When I first started preparing for coding interviews a few years ago, I stumbled upon a no-name (as in I literally have never heard anybody mention it) coding practice website called code fights (which has been rebranded to code signal). I really liked the design of that product. It gamified the coding practice grind so well. I actually really enjoyed myself solving coding problems there. And then there's hacker rank which I also remember has a better UI than leetcode. So I probably only ever did a handful of problems on leetcode and a LOT more on code fights and less so on hacker rank. I collected offers from Google, Facebook, Snap, Uber, byte dance and some lesser known startups. So I probably did not miss out on anything from leetcode. Leetcode kind of reminds me of craigslist, so famous & dominant that they don't need to work on the UI/UX, whereas the smaller players who are trying so hard and doing a great job are not getting the attention and recognition they deserve... #software #swe #interview #leetcode
