Engineers typically optimize for their own learning, and the false negative rate can reflect more about how aggressively the interviewing panel wants specific peers versus how much they actually want the job done well.
Suppose there was a SWE union and the union has to create their own reference compensation bands. Would the union again lean towards leetcode or some other standardized test? Or just use years of experience and maybe past projects?
When weighing the “effectiveness” of leetcode interviews, it’s important to weigh that thus far SWEs have failed to effectively unionize despite e.g. the past class-action no-poaches clearly showing C-suites should be paying engineers a larger share.
