Thank you for putting it so well. I've been developing for the web for 24 years(!) and anytime I have an interview with some stupid leetcode-like challenge, I feel like I'm taking crazy pills. It'd be like trying to get a job as an airline pilot, but in the interview process you'd have to solve aerospace efficiency calculations for a Ramjet engine. It's absolute madness and I can't think of any other industry which accepts this as normal. It's a strange combination of time-wasting, degrading, and insulting all at once.
