Fairly sure maybe half of MANGA knows what leetcode even is. I for one don't know what it is.

> Fairly sure maybe half of MANGA knows what leetcode even is. I for one don't know what it is.

https://leetcode.com/ is a website famous for listing a repository of programming exercises that you can solve by implementing an algorithm categorized as Easy, Medium, or Hard depending on its complexity. Many technology companies, including, but not limited to, Facebook, Amazon, Apple, Netflix, and Google, (aka. FAANG) use the same type of problems during technical interviews to evaluate candidates’ problem solving skills.

It’s how the interview process works for all swe hires and MANGA. You just don’t know it name.
I do interview people at a MANGA and think I know more about it than you do.
Then why are you asking what leetcode is? I’m literally telling you that the process google, meta, and Amazon (never worked at apple or nflx so can’t speak to them) follow is programming challenges that require some algorithms and data structures knowledge.

This is known in the industry as leetcode because the leetcode website is entirely dedicated to practicing said problems and has entire categories dedicated to the leaked algorithms questions from these big companies.
