#2The title is highly misleading. The author of the article wrote a tool to "cheat" in LeetCode interviews, violated numerous interview policies, and stepped on a lot of toes. All while trying to pitch their product as both a company, and a moral imperative to get rid of leetcode.

Agreed. This reminds me of the kids doing all kinds of dangerous, immoral stuff on TikTok or whatever just for views.

It's the best way to interview candidates by far.
What would you prefer instead? X years in stech stack, keeping devs boxed in their role for their entire careers.

I prefer interviews that determine what a candidate can do. The best so far was to hand them a laptop with a work ticket and some IDEs pointing to code that needed fixing.
Monkeying some algos allows devs who can go leetcode algos and are crap at everything else. I've seen their work after hiring.

From what I hear from friends at Leetcode employers, they have barely any developers who can't develop for shit. That is better than average.
