Your leetcode may be A grade but your empathy, self-reflection, and frankly critical thinking skills need a ton of work.

If you had realized that

* in 90+% of job openings, whiteboard leetcode interviews optimize for the wrong thing, and neither the candidate nor the interviewer should be honored for its inclusion in the process

* live coding exercises are just as much an exercise in psychology - your willingness to submit to unreasonable demands and their willingness to subject you to them

* negative discrimination (i.e. weed out requirements) create biases in your hiring process and ultimately skill gaps in your personnel base

You would potentially be self-aware enough not to post this cavalier and self-aggrandizing comment.
