Ask HN: Why Not LeetCat?

1 points by runawaybottle ↗ HN
It’s obvious we’ve entered gatekeeping territory with Leetcode. I’m so so on it, but I think we should just standardize it via a standard test that can capture general iq (ala the SATs). We have it for everything else like mcat/lsat/gmat, so we should follow suit.

I think this is the way to go because every company can determine their cut off. Google might want the perfect score, but many are fine with students in B- range. The C students will get good feedback on how to get to a B.

Why not a robot?

They get perfect scores, with IQs over 69,420 and they can only be wrong unless a human told them to do something incorrect. They also can do problem solving faster and cheaply 24/7.

Let's have a standard test that benefits robots than humans.
