which is why leetcode makes no sense, as it focuses on premature optimization and writing the most advanced code possible which no freshman will be able to understand, at least not without dissecting it for a few hours first.
Isn't leetcode more about "passing" the technical interview white board questions? Not a reflection of what real world code looks like.
exactly, and that is the problem
And every one of the puzzles on there is by definition a solved problem. If the company went under and all of their code and website was lost, I would cheer.
The only sort function I could write is probably bubble sort. Why? Because more efficient ones out there already exist and I could google them and paste 1000x faster than I could write them.
Lazy programmers are efficient. Puzzle solving masturbators waste a ton of time.
