Does it work though?

When I look at the messy Android code, Fuchsia's commercial failure, Dart being almost killed by politics, Go's marvellous design, WinUI/UWP catastrophical failure, how C++/CX got replaced with C++/WinRT, ongoing issues with macOS Tahoe,....

I am glad that apparently I am not good enough for such projects.

zero of those failures are of a technical nature.

The fact is that they fail is not evidence that leetcode interviews fails to select for high quality engineers.

On the contrary, they prove high quality engineers, for whatever measure that happens to be, does not correlate to product quality.
