At what point do we end up saying "my current employer 'asked' me this question, because it's part of my day to day job..."? At some point you have some experience in certain areas that you just 'know', and it's not some sneaky "oh I crammed leetcode for 3 weeks!" tactic.

Yes, it seems to me that if interviewers are going to be annoyed about this then they should stop using leetcode and/or using generic interview questions.

Red flag. People forget interviews are a two way street.

You ask a Leetcode question, and then assume the candidate is lying without even asking "have you seen this question before?".
