What evidence have we seen that Leetcode translates to people that write clean, sensible code?

It feels like Leetcode is more of an aptitude test, but there’s tons of people that do great on the SATs but don’t necessarily excel in college.

From my experience, the number one thing a team should be assessing for is sensibility. Give someone the shittiest piece of code you’ve encountered at work and have that person write their true feedback about it. If it’s mostly what your team would have said, there, you found someone with the right sensibilities.

Then hit them with a few easy/medium Leetcodes as a fizzbuzz, and feel good about making a good hire.
