Next time you need a puffer person, please let me know.

Would be awesome to get a 6 figure salary on the side while I work on my startup.

(I'm very good at leetcode-interview BS so will have no problem passing your interview and will be happy to take the severance when you need to fire me)

Hiring managers: Don't fall for the parent's game. Their leetcode skills prove that they are just trying to trick you into hiring them, after which they will become a valuable member of your team, making your next firing more difficult. If you really want a puffer person, hire me. I'll take the position with no interview, demonstrating my commitment to putting zero effort into your project.

Edit: And don't worry about any bidding war with other managers. I'll just put you in my queue and rotate through you all as needed.

The irony would be that the top performers would get and want the puffer positions, while the “suckers” did the work.
