If true, I find the 'print out the code you wrote in the last 30-60 days' very grim and a very blunt tool for evaluating productivity.

The sound of 1000 leetcode warriors printing out 2 pages of tumbleweed, sobbing over their multifunction copiers, then rushing home to record a YT video of why they left their faang dream job

Fucking good and I hope leetcode warriors are knocked down several pegs.

You shouldn't be paid more than folks with 10K GitHub stars on big projects just because you reinflicted DSA hazing on yourself.

The person with 10K GitHub stars is overwhelmingly more likely to be a massive contributor than the leetcode warrior.

I hope this recession kills or at least hurts leetcode warriors.

Why would anyone subject themselves to such humiliation? (Well, a fat paycheck is probably an answer). It feels more like a weeding-out process, if I were a giant jerkoff billionaire, I would know anyone who submits to this bullshit will submit to further humiliation...

Why do you think it's bullshit and why do you think it's humiliation?

Aren't all employees, in all companies on this planet, submitting to some form of dominance in exchange for money?

The most productive engineers I've known all crank out a ton of code in any week. It's almost like an addiction for them to push commits on a daily basis.
