#12It's true. But acting like you're above the work also doesn't help you.
They literally are above it.

A lot of developers that aren't purely obsessed with frontend or AI-like niches find Leetcoding rote. Ultimately it's just about facing a question you are unfamiliar with and whiteboarding it with a potential employer - it's only humiliating if you've got an ego to swallow.

I think that might be a bit narrow. It's humiliating not because you need to bear your ignorance in front of a judgemental audience. (although that part certainly is not comfortable) It's humiliating because the leetcode is not actually representative of anything you'll need to know to do the job. It's an exercise which selections for who can jump through the most hoops, and doesn't really select for the actual job skills.

#16LeetCode and similar tests are why I got out of software development as a career. I was tired of jumping through hoops on interviews.
How often were you interviewing that LeetCode interviews made you switch careers?

#18I think you have two different 'leetcode' interviews.
The first one if 'write detailed leetcode to solve our slightly different fizzbuzz'
The second is 'we have this specific issue, please leetcode a prototype that will solve it.do not enter in details and edgecases'
The second one is IMHO way better than any other way to find language-agnostic Devs, that's why I'm not against some kinds of leetcode.

boycotting the thing that puts a roof over your head is a luxury few can afford

#20Just to give some balance here, I'll state a seemingly unpopular opinion.
Personally, I have not had issues doing complex coding questions in interviews, or at work. And it becomes clear pretty quickly on the job, when your co-worker has weak computer science fundamentals. Reasoning from first principles is a very powerful technique.
