2000 solved #LeetCode problems later [1] ... ... I feel like I have a chance passing an entry level job interview, or maybe not. I am not preparing for interviews, I just enjoy solving these coding puzzles, and will keep going. Happy LeetCode-ing!

Ah, funny that you mention it and I would love to pick your mind on this, since I was discussing something similar with a friend recently: do you also get the impression that the LC nuclear arm race is in full swing, with increasingly difficult problems being considered the bare minimum an engineer has to pass/know? Both in an interviewing context and on LC: I thought I might have been tired or anyway out of shape for some reason in the past few contests, but when I grind through new problems of comparable difficulty from last year or early, I just breeze through them 🤔
I noticed you are hiring, I am guessing whoever sees these posts is going to need diapers to attend your interviews. 🫠
Inspiring.

1w"I just enjoy solving these coding puzzles" I think this is the absolute key to actually making Leetcode worth the while. If you can learn to enjoy something, it just becomes a hobby. Leetcode is a lot of fun if you do it over a longer time horizon instead of cramming it. But if you were the type that enjoyed mechanical math problems, then this might be an easier frame of mind to adopt than someone who didn't. Did you encounter a problem type that you struggled with, but eventually got a lot better with? I think for me, it was tree problems at first.
