  • you dont need Clickbait youtube title lies on HN.

    Hate these so much.

    by dominotw
  • What would you have titled it?
    by andai
  • What is click bait about it? It says what it is and why it was made. Is it deceptive or misleading in some way?

  • Doesn’t make sense to pay anymore. Ask any LLM to give you a list of FAANG questions asked recently. Then ask “can you restate question number X”. Premium problems locked behind paywall? Just ask it to restate the question and it will.

  • Light mode doesn't change the backgrounds of the text cells, making the text in them impossible to read.
    by addandsubtract
  • You're right, just pushed a fix. A refactor earlier today had broken accent tinted backgrounds across a few spots in light mode. Thanks for reporting.

  • You can practice across ChatGPT/Gemini/Claude; once you hit the limits on one model, move to the next. Don't need to buy a subscription to Neet/Leet if you don't want to.

  • Leetcode seems so pointless in the AI era. It was already pretty pointless but there’s nothing to it now.

  • Most companies still run these rounds. AI is generally banned during them, though some places are experimenting with allowing it. They want to see your foundational knowledge, not what a copilot can write.

  • You couldn't afford a used book but can afford the tokens? No decent library around either? Okay, boss...
    by esafak
  • lol, books don't give you that fresh MVP build feel
    by cdnsteve
  • why would you go read a book, it wouldn't even make the HN front page
    by xgulfie
  • What books? That horrible green book?

  • Are leetcode interviews still a thing in 2026?
    by elephanlemon
  • Expedia was about to Leetcode me but I took another offer before it happened.
    by nsxwolf
  • Only for suckers
    by seki285
  • Yeah I just scheduled a technical and they told me it would be leetcode style.

    The company I interviewed for directly before was AI only, just prompt and review no coding allowed.

    Fun time to prep

  • Any company still doing them is wasting their time. I can show up hungover and half asleep with an Astra/Fable subscription and ace any leetcode problem with zero difficulty.

  • Nebius hit me with two LeetCodes, communicated a third round of system design and instead did a third round of LeetCode. It's very much a thing for companies worth applying for, especially if internal communication gets messy.

  • I don't need this but this looks very cool. I love neon colors and everything.

    Some of these we, dynamic programming is something we didn't do at university and few years ago I did a course to learn it. It is good to know, wish we dealt with more of such intellectual problems at work, but as we all know this is not the case.

    Anyhow, really cool.

  • Thanks for the feedback!

  • Isn't it just the default slopcoded website design?
    by askl
  • I like the look of the app... I just wonder if leetcode interviews are even a thing anymore...
    by pelagicAustral
  • Thanks for the feedback. Part of the thinking in building this depends on the company but bigger companies are still running DS&A rounds on basically every loop. This was built because the interviews that remain are still high stakes and the prep material hasn't really evolved since the green book era.

  • A Neetcode or Leetcode subscription is one of the highest ROI things you can buy
    by dayvid
  • Ten years ago, maybe
    by danielrmay
  • I resisted getting one out of principle till I realised this. Landed a job at FANG ~7 years ago after doing so and that $30 subscription has probably paid for itself 20,000x over at this point.
    by drstewart
  • The free version of LeetCode is more than enough to prepare for standard interviews.

    Only mentioning this because I’ve seen some people stall their interview prep because they wanted to delay a LeetCode purchase until they felt they had enough time to prepare. You can get started right away with the free version.

    Paid version is actually worth it (in ROI terms) but you can wait until later to buy it.

    Starting is the most important part.
