This is probably the most dramatic thread in particular but there's some great REEEEing throughout from bootcamp grads who can't write "Hello word" without importing a half-dozen Javascript libraries and copy-pasting something from StackOverflow

On the other hand, I have seen professional leetcode and hackerrank engineers have difficulty with the requirements of everyday work.

The ultimate reddit cope is the devs who think they're better than "leetcode engineers" but being held down by the system (of broken interviews). God forbid you have to actually study something to get your 300k TC. That's not to say the modern SWE interview is perfect, but it isn't the worst thing to select for people that have enough dedication/competence to crack it.

The best thing about that cope is that it isn't even that hard to deal with - there's literally only like a half-dozen algorithms and design patterns you need to know to solve 75-80% of leetcode problems, every one of which is taught in sophomore-level CS courses.
