I think it says bad things about the industry that so many people think you need to have seen them before to do them. Do you also memorize solutions to the advent problems before completing them?
I don't have to complete advent solutions in 20 mins while someone waits for me to demonstrate any reason to cut me from the 10 others they are interviewing that week. The problem is psychosocial, not technical. I'm not necessarily going to lose out to a better engineer, but a better leetcoder - I'm objectively terrible in leetcode interviews, unable to put two sentences together.
I can code fine. I've practiced enough leetcode problems to be fine with them too. Just not in interviews.
But, you didn't answer my question. It says bad things about the industry that so many people still lack the insight to see the disconnect between performing well during social evaluation and effective software engineering. It's been decades now.
