Stop Interviewing with Leet Code
Yup. Max Howell, creator of Homebrew. A bit more information here
https://www.quora.com/Whats-the-logic-behind-Google-rejectin...
(link to Quora, uggh, but that's where he wrote it). HN discussion of that:

. Howell's earlier tweet after getting turned down by Google:
https://nitter.net/mxcl/status/608682016205344768?lang=en
. "Google: 90% of our engineers use the software you wrote (Homebrew), but you can’t invert a binary tree on a whiteboard so fuck off."

I don’t necessarily think leetcode should be the only litmus test for a candidate but Max is an outlier. Not every candidate getting rejected by a leetcode question is also capable of building out homebrew on their free time.
