How much time have they spent using the standard frameworks that most companies use everyday? Could they even model a standard relational schema? Do they know anything about automated testing?

If they were told a web page was slow would they know enough architecturally to know how to find the bottleneck and no the solution for solving it? No the answer is not based on finding the o(n) complexity of reversing a binary tree.

Of course not, the main purpose of the leetcode is to ace the interview.

Doesn't mean they do not know any of those questions you mentioned above.

I, for example, did all you mentioned above and also practicing leetcode.
