These numbers make my head implode. Back to the leetcode grind.

Pro-tip, work on personal projects, code something meaty. I learned far more from making websites and tools than I did with coding competitions.

To put this in context though, if you’re already getting recruiter interest and scheduling onsites it’s better to leetcode. If you aren’t getting resume callbacks then build stuff.

It’s been discussed before but the sad reality is that passing an interview loop at the big 5 and building stuff are not really correlated.

This is very true, the need for cleverness of algorithms tends to be... sadly low compared to discipline needs to execute on a schedule. Build stuff, and then get used to the grind to finish and ship something.

Missing something. What is "leetcode grind"?

In this case, its heavily using Leetcode[0] as interview prep for the kinds of questions that are asked in the interviews.
