This is brilliant and necessary, Leetcode needs to die and a means to an end in the age of AI.

For our business we don't use Leetcode, the future looks something like paid bounties and in person interviews.

tinycorp from George Hotz does the very same thing of paid bounties to get hired there.

The highly talented people will do this for fun, while those who aren't will self select themselves out.

I like leetcode easys for job interviews because it shows you know how to actually code. Many applicants cant even do fizz buzz.

So, am I missing something? Is this just a tool allowing job candidates to commit fraud?

I'm no lawyer, so I'm not sure this would rise to the level of actual legal fraud, but moral fraud at the very least is what I think I'm seeing.

EDIT:

Now I see it at the bottom of the page... "Interview Coder is a desktop app designed to help job seekers ace technical interviews by providing real-time assistance with coding questions."

So yes, it's exactly what it looks like.

And now they can do fizz buzz with AI, Cursor, Copilot, etc.

If you want to filter out these candidates, bounties are the way here and in person interviews.

Leetcode can't help you here.

This is just, like, your opinion. Your future employer may think otherwise, and look for people with algorithmic skills. "But leetcode is actually evil" is just your rationalisation of your cheating.
