As much as I dont like Elon, I wonder how much of them quit since they couldn't answer those questions.

Probably I will get tons of downvotes, but there is this strange myth here (and on reddit) that there are no incompetent programmers.

When in reality there are tons of incompetent programmers, just like there are incompetent people in any other job.

Competence is not measured by one's ability to drop a leetcode solution on command.

It is tempting to think otherwise if you have spent effort cultivating that ability. But anyone with better things to do would be justified to read it as an insult.

Right, so it seems (if the news are to be believed) that Elon Musk updated his strategy and asked his new underlings to bring their own code for review...

Of course, somehow according to sentiment here this updated process is still considered an insult...
