Easy to refute that. That test gives you 0 every time you run it. Leet code gives a 1 10-20% of the time.

If you let people know that they can get a $300k job by memorizing x86-64 opcodes, you will start getting >0 pass rates on this test. It’s a given.

When people have time to prepare for the test and the incentives are high enough, you only get what you measure. The leetcode fans don’t seem to understand this.

If that’s true then a large number of candidates should be passing leet code tests, right?
