Haha I'm sure you'd love to believe it - let me ask you this: Why does AI easily solve all the Leetcode problems but still can't design a decent web page? API? Auth system?
Leetcode doesn't cover 99% of what a developer does - it's like taking fencing courses and claiming to be a military expert. Leetcode skips SQL, REST/HTTP, OOP and framework patterns, frameworks themselves (React etc.), serving a page, tests, working with files, doesn't even cover basic async functionality (core to writing high quality code), git, ORMs and NoSQL, doesn't even touch devops or UI. It's "add the numbers in this array" type problems - memorization techniques like math problems and other abstract academia.
I prefer people who build products you can see and use, and have other evidence of their work online like libraries they author or contribute to.
Btw, Leetcode is pretty out of fashion at this point for interviews.
