If a tree can fall in a forest, better test it, just in case!
Or the tree falling in a forest test for short
And you're right, I made three totally disconnected points albeit on the same area at least! Have done much worst in the past. I am sorry if I offended you or didn't explain myself much further.
Why is academia over in my opinion you ask?
Well, for one it's an overly saturated space, most of the folks doing a PhD go on to have very good career prospect's (of course thanks to the PhD in part).
But which percentage do stay in academia? Why not everyone with good ideas? It seems to me, it's a system like any other rigged for the rich and connected, who can afford a degree+master+phd, I guess if your parents are supporting you through it...
About avoiding doing a PhD, you can just read from all the people who was paid poorly, but since they needed the credentials, they went with it anyway's... As it stands right now, and much like everything that capitalism touches, Academia has gone to shit in standards in a few centuries from being the way of sharing knowledge, to being another way to manipulate and disinform the public.
I guess I would change my prior absolute statement to a more specific one, do a PhD only if you can afford the opportunity cost of not doing it and doing else more productive (for yourself or bank account at least)
And maybe academia is not over, but it's certainly in need of a shake up, and sadly as someone much more smarter than me once said:

I say fuck to those big name universities that pay peanuts to their most overexploited workers.

Edited: no absolutisms is better
Do only a PhD if you're sure you can afford it.
The other day I just made a sample stripe-jobs cli app with it and playwright.
Never appreciated the joke in the software's name before though LOL
The web is just so much more usable and beautiful without ads...
You can also use ddg with ! to search on google, never did it myself.
Since this is a difficult subject, YMMV
That's my experience at least, have worked for some US companies remotely from europe that way anyways
Also Diane in Bojack Horseman surname! Guessing she's of Vietnamese ascent!
```
So I'm guessing if you're from a country where that is a regular surname, you might assume it's like that and not DanG, so yeah I guess that happens

But for what I read on HN, leetcode it's just a filter to get in like having harvard or stanford in your resume is too...
Once you pass the filters, however you do, I say there are much more important stuff to know than leetcode that can predit how well you will do... Also in any big company the size of those, it's literally a gamble as in the team you'll be working with will be the most important thing affecting you, besides salary or whatever... So you've a lot of variance on success on those big shops.
I've never tried/had a leetcode interview tbh, 4-8h take-home code challenges (in frontend positions I apply) are more abundant in my experience. But I'm not in the US so who knows...

That's the education I experienced at least, maybe someone else had better luck, but once you've to slowdown to the slowest of 30, and you're the fastest, things get pretty slow.
Healthcare US system is bonkers!
