Leetcode does not test your ability to code in the sense of anything related to real world engineering applications.
Leetcode merely tests your ability to memorize and regurgitate algorithms from a textbook -- a skill that LLMs can now do a thousand times faster and more accurately than any human.
It never had much to do with real world software engineering, and now it's even less relevant than ever.
