I was going for some Leetcode based exercises

Please, no. These have been widely panned for being (1) not reflective of the kinds of skills / decision making need in real, actual, day-to-day work; (2) not even compatible with the everday workflow real, actual programmers use; and (3) in general, are hyper-optimized not to test suitability for actual, real engineering work but for one's ability to... "prepare" (that is, cram for) Leetcode sessions.

BTW as to (2): We're used to coding in the shell and on the file system, right? And with vi or emacs, right? Not in webforms with doc-like editing interfaces - not in a million years, please. Nevermind the (frequently) artificially tricky the problems, and artificially tight (45 minutes or GTFO) the deadlines are.

In fairness, maybe things have changed a bit since I began politely declining to do Leetcode-ish filtering sessions - like maybe they have a better in-page editor by now - but the downsides and limitations to this approach are quite fundamental, and I doubt much has changed to change this overall state of affairs.
