Leetcode is also just an awful signal. It would be fine if it was only problems with false negatives, but the false positive rate is through the roof.

I'm consistently shocked by coworkers I've had, who I knew had to pass challenging leetcode interviews, who seem to not only know nothing about building real world software, but don't really have a firm grasp on algorithms.

Yes they can process a leetcode question requiring dynamic programming in record time, but when mapping a real world problem to a dp (or any other similar solution) are completely at a loss.
