Getting a job at Apple without going to college or doing LeetCode
The problem is that &quot;leetcode&quot; is a definitely a thing that exists in &quot;FAANG&quot; interviews.<p>The biggest stumbling block with leetcode is that you shouldn&#x27;t be programming like that in real life.<p>&quot;make a linked list&quot; no, just use a library like everyone else.<p>&quot;Implement addition in python but with string inputs&quot;, &quot;no you can&#x27;t use the built in x&quot; All of that &quot;clever&quot; shit should be filtered out at PR&#x2F;MR&#x2F;diff review time.<p>All of this &quot;clever shit&quot; is exceptionally bad programming. We don&#x27;t live in the 80s anymore. we don&#x27;t need to make our own sort algorithms. just. use. a. Library.
