Given this consider that LeetCode solving is rarely ever part of your work. So then, what are they selecting for with the habit?

Selecting for people like themselves.

    I think this is one of the more true answers but can you be more specific?

    Like in race? Like in wealth? Like in defection willingness? Like in corruption?

    Asking for a friend who is regularly identified as among the most skilled but feels their career has been significantly derailed by this social phenomenon.

      People decide what is like. I know some people who would never work with some group, but they have no problem with some other group.

      In this case the group is people good at leetcode - the people I know of in that group are perfectly fine with any race so long as they can solve leetcode. There are people who care about race, but I've never had much to do with them so I can't guess how they think.
