Have you ever interviewed with Meta? They are _the_ FAANG company that places the highest weighting on leetcode problems.

From my experience they place most weight on system design. They allow you to get 1-2 neutral flags from leetcoding and still get an offer.

When I did the system design interview the guy told me that zuckeberg created memcached. Not sure if he meant used or invented, could have just been a language thing. Anyway, I'm glad I didn't pass.

A oft-told tale in FB. Zuck rewrote memcached for FB in 2005. Either you or he is slightly misremembering the story.

A guy from Google told me that a quantum computer can solve all NP-hard problems... They aren't always the best and brightest.

leetcode is a standin for all thing you can memorize and vomit out in in interview.

Designing url-shortner is no different than edit distance.

Meh, I can do a URL shortener in my sleep, but I'd have to study to beat a leetcode test.

[dominotw]

its the opposite for me :D
