Getting a job at Apple without going to college or doing LeetCode
The problem is that "leetcode" is a definitely a thing that exists in "FAANG" interviews.<p>The biggest stumbling block with leetcode is that you shouldn't be programming like that in real life.<p>"make a linked list" no, just use a library like everyone else.<p>"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.<p>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.
