Did you mean to type 25? 5 years ago LC challenge were as, if not more, prevalent than they are today. And a single interview for a job is not something I have seen ever after 15 years in the space (and a bunch of successful OSS projects I can showcase).
I actually have the feeling it’s not as hardcore as it used to be on average. E.g. OpenAI doesn’t have a straight up LC interview even though they probably are the most sought after company. Google and MS and others still do it, but it feel like it has less weight in the final feedback than it did before. Most en-vogue startup have also ditched it for real world coding excercices.
Probably due to the fact that LC has been thoroughly gamed and is even less a useful signal than it was before.
Of course some still do, like Anthropic were you have to have a perfect score to 4 leetcode questions, automatically judged with no human contact, the worst kind of interview.
Interesting, maybe they stopped doing this then. It used to be that you received a link for an automated online test, with 4 progressively harder questions, and you needed to score 1000/1000 to go the next step and speak to a human.
There's an entire planet of jobs that have nothing to do with leetcode. I was talking about those, not FAANG stuff. Unfortunately I am not FAANG royalty.

Only if there is enough evidence. Yes, I can say that the inability to account for things like the ADA in the US can place an employer in hot water, however, since LC doesn't make those decisions, they are immune. The accountability is placed upon the employer. Don't hate the players or the game. Maybe just figure out how to fix it without harming everyone, be popular enough to make said idea into law, and get into a position of power that allows you to do so. If that sounds hard, congrats, welcome to the reason why I never got into politics. Don't even get me started on all the people you will never realize you are hurting by fixing that one single problem.
I can't imagine this kind of entitlement. If you don't want to work for them, don't study leetcode. If you want to work for them (and get paid tons of money), study leetcode. This isn't a difficult aristotelian ethics/morals question.
I don't understand what you're saying. We're not talking about the market exploiting labor because before you are hired by the company you're not labor for the company. Is this really that difficult to understand?
