I have heard of people saying grind leetcode but that never made any sense to me. Does leetcode go over database design and development basics? The best jobs I ever had never needed me to grind on some meaningless test because they knew how to conduct quality interviews.

This book is definitely the opposite of "grind leetcode", fwiw.

Appreciate the comment, and you're completely right. Our whole thesis is that doing what everybody else is doing will get you the same results that everybody else is getting. :)

Oh I know, but my point is not every interview is covered by this process that seems to screen for college grads or people who memorize things better.
