> There's an assumption you're making that these challenges only filter out a small amount of qualified candidates. I suspect the percentage is actually quite significant.

Statistically that’s irrelevant, as they optimize for “do not let through rotten apple”, rather than “find good apple”.

Which is horseshit. I'm currently working at my first bigco company, and I would consider the MAJORITY of people they have hired in the last year to be horrifically bad hires, because they have optimized for new hires that can leetcode, but can't actually code.

We just fired a person on my team who didn't understand pass by value vs pass by reference, or how to debug in an ide, but she could manipulate strings in leetcode!
