The problem is that "leetcode" is a definitely a thing that exists in "FAANG" interviews.

The biggest stumbling block with leetcode is that you shouldn't be programming like that in real life.

"make a linked list" no, just use a library like everyone else.

"Implement addition in python but with string inputs", "no you can't use the built in x" All of that "clever" shit should be filtered out at PR/MR/diff review time.

All of this "clever shit" is exceptionally bad programming. We don't live in the 80s anymore. we don't need to make our own sort algorithms. just. use. a. Library.
