It's painful to imagine how many teams miss out on candidates because their take-home or technical interviews are not extracting the right signals. Having access to a library like this will save so much time on getting new ideas and iterating. At the very least, I hope it saves the effort of running into useless leetcode libraries.

too many companies are using the take home as an initial filter. twice now I've spent a couple days really polishing the assignment only to discover later that there is absolutely no chance we will work together well.

at least make me _want_ the job before you start placing demands on my time and those of who I might provide as references.

Or it'll just cause the leetcode bar to be moved to fit the tests with "stronger signals".

Goodhart's Law will basically apply to any exam under capitalism: "When a measure becomes a target, it ceases to be a good measure."

If these jobs didn't offer more compensation and prestige than other positions, matching candidate competency to job requirements would be much more achievable, but as it is now, it's an adverseal system that demands gamification (because when any candidate plays the game, if you don't, you are actively harming your material conditions with a lower position and smaller salary)

Everything will be gamed when there are stakes.

Whatever is closest to the real skills you need will makes it harder to improve at the measure without also improving at the real job skills. At least that would be the dream.
