I absolutely detest leetcode style interview questions. I am good at solving problems and writing modular code. I am not good at writing search algorithms. Any guesses which one of those is more relevant to my job? 99% of development does not involve writing low level algorithms, because guess what someone else already did that for you, it's called a library!
