Ask HN: What to do about ‘Good at programming Bad at Leetcode’ (Score: 152+ in 4 hours)
Link: https://readhacker.news/c/5d6VT
Over the past few years I've met people who are really good programmers when it comes to putting together a full back end system , creating a very nice front end or creating any kind of app for that matter.
Many of these people are fresh out of college and the ‘industry’ puts them through leetcode/hackerrank style rounds that are needlessly hard. I’ve seen the kind of questions these rounds have and quite frankly, if I graduated this year, there’s no way I’m going to get a job.
Ever since 'Cracking the coding interview' was released, every company's interview process has become like Google's and Google didn't have a particularly great interview process to start with.[0][1]
Now, there are several GitHub repositories that prescribe 3-4 month grinds on leetcode questions to "crack" the interview. And people do go through this grind.
The people who do manage to crack these rounds are not necessarily good at programming either because the time they spent doing competitive programming stuff should have been spent learning to build actual things.
The no-whiteboard companies are very few, hardly ever seem to have openings and not hiring junior engineers.
What would be your advice be to fresh college graduates, or anybody for that matter, who are good at programming but not at leetcode? Surely there must be a way to demonstrate their understanding of algorithms without having to spend 3-4 months memorising riddles

Slaying the Chinese Jabberwock
In 1869, Antonie Zimmermann became the first translator of Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, and Germans were treated to Lewis Carroll’s classic in their native tongue. Sort of. As you might imagine, Alice’s Abenteuer im Wunderland took some pretty serious…

台湾方面解释姓名用字问题。前 7 页英文，第 8 页起是中文版。
大意是说，所有提请入 U 的孤例人名用字 都是 2001 年以前的历史遗留问题；2001 年后大众没有新造人名字的权利，所以不会浪费编码空间
