WTF is Leetcode? Can a non tech guy be enlightened here? P.S. I know Google/Wiki exists
Need to know, is all
Google? Bing? Duckduckgo?
Leetcode is love. Leetcode is lyfe
It's not gonna be relevant to u if u aren't tech person. All u will do is fill the hard drive between ur ears with useless information!
I wonder what happens if you type โleetcodeโ in to Google...
No one knows. It's np hard
Leetcode is a curse dear... ask tech folks... with mastery on LC, folks with 2 yrs exp can be at same level as folks with 15-18 yrs exp... or vice versa
LC is like a mechanic who works on their own car. Even though they work on cars for a living, they work on their own car for free, sacrificing time and money...and itโs still cringe afterwards when they go to try to turn the key.
But it gets them high paying job... sighhh
you COULD google it, or you could go straight to www.leetcode.com for your question, it is a website to practice problem solving using algorithms, selecting one of several available coding languages to implement it.
Out of all the jokes, let me take a stab at some what serious answer. So long ago it was determined the best way to evaluate programmers in a way that scales is to ask them to solve algorithmic problems on white board. Once that became a norm in most / all tech companies and even became the criteria of deciding higher comps, people aka applicants started preparing more systemically, perhaps to the point that there remained a lot less correlation between some ones on job performance vs interview capabilities. Leetcode became a major site which presents all those problems and growing in the way asked at companies. The unique thing there is that it just doesn't talk about a problem and how the solution is approached. It is more like an online programming competition judge, where you solve a problem and submit your code which is evaluated against hidden input and only passes if 100 % correct. It quickly became the gold standard for programming interviews prep with things like paid subscription showing top 100 questions asked at company x. Hence the term leet coding your way to higher comp. TC 230k

Imagine scouting out a list of potential Instagram models you want to date or have sex with. Then imagine a website that lists optimal answers to hundreds of potential hellish questions these women might ask on a date. People will naturally start to memorize the entire website rather than rely on their natural game, but also run the risk of getting completely exposed to the people with actual game at some point.
if you know Google exists, why didnโt you Google this, my friend?
Their information is plain vanilla :) You, my friend, on the other hand are someone special and spicy and tangy!
