> Whereas you'll routinely run into leetcode "hard" questions in interviews now
Where are you seeing LC hard questions? I’m in a fairly big Slack where people have been comparing notes on interviews for years. The number of people who actually get LC hard problems is extremely small.
A lot of people will claim they got LC hards immediately after an interview when they couldn’t solve them, but when you ask them to describe the question and someone looks it up, it’s always a medium.
There were also sites where people could report recent LC problems they received from specific companies. Hard questions rarely made the list of commonly asked questions.
The only exception seems to be people interviewing at certain companies in India for some reason.
