There’s so many problems with leetcodes, but mainly in that they are gameable and usually not representative of the work you will be doing on the job.
I would love something that is more ability to figure out a codebase and grok it fast to fix a bug or use it.
Can you with outdated docs, and a messy codebase figure out what is going on and make it pass some test cases — can this be timeboxed?
Gossip Glomer’s and Praetorian Tech Challenges are awesome, but being a requirement can be a hassle for high value candidate
