That's fair. I think we are saying the same thing, it is just about what you know at that moment, rather than your true capabilities.
Also, my statement was not blanket statement, nor that I wrote more code than others. I was referring to a very specific set of problems that I was working on and not generalizing that I'm better than all googlers. There are many people who are way smarter/better than I am. I'm just saying not being in FAANG does not mean one is not good enough.
I think the interview processes put a bar on if one willing to put in the amount of specific kind of work needed to get in or not. In its own way, it is a good filter (for them)
