1. That point is actually one of the reasons behind Litebulb! For most LeetCode-style tools, getting 100% is easy if you just google the question, copy the top answer, then change up a few variables. For Litebulb, a legitimate submission has multiple commits, so when we do git history matching, no two legitimate submissions will have the exact same commit history, which means submissions either have a <5% or >95% match. The >95% matches are plagiarism and will be flagged.

2. Litebulb is meant to replace the initial LeetCode question + the mid-funnel technical screen. We still recommend doing a hiring manager screen at the beginning and team onsite at the end, but using Litebulb correctly should lessen an engineer's interviewing burden, not increase it.
