>But on the other hand, there are plenty of jobs where there are high levels of uniqueness and creativity and innovation dominate the skills of repetition and regurgitation. This is even true in research and science, though I think creativity is exceptionally important.

Those companies still use leetcode for those positions. It's just a blanket thing at this point.

Yes, and I think it is dumb. I'm personally fed up with how much we as a society rely on metrics for the sake of metrics. I can accept that things are difficult to measure and that there's a lot of chaos. Imperfection is perfectly okay. But I have a hard time accepting willful ignorance, acting like it is objective. I'm sure I am willfully ignorant many times too, but I think my ego should take the hit rather than continue.
