> Any human that reads the LeetCode books and practices and remembers the fundamentals will pass a LeetCode test.

Seems pretty bold to claim "any human" to me. If it were that easy, don't you think alot more people would be able to break into software dev at FAANG and hence drive salaries down?

I don't think the person you're replying meant "Any human" to be taken literally, but I agree with their notion. I think you're confusing wanting to do something and having the ability to do it. Enough people don't WANT to grind leetcode and break into FAANG, or they think they can't do it or there's other barriers that I can't think of, but I think you don't need above average cognitive ability to learn and grind leetcode.

Just because a job pays well, doesn’t mean it’s worth doing. Most FAANG jobs (now that the companies have become modern day behemoths like IBM) are boring cogs in a huge, multilayered, bureaucratic machine that is mostly built to take advantage of their users.

It takes a “special” kind of person to want those type of jobs and live in a company town like SF while they’re at it.

That's obviously not what they claimed. Your quote, "Any human that reads the LeetCode books and practices and remembers the fundamentals".
