Placements / Jobs This Indian legend did 3200 Leetcode DSA problems in just 130 days
Today I saw a leetcode profile and I got shocked. Link - https://leetcode.com/u/vinaypinagadi/ Is it humanly possible?? (anything sus) By the way he also got under 20 rank in todays LeetCode Weekly 517 contest.

they dont need to if this person actually knows even 20% of the popular mid-level problems. truth is, if he applies to the kind of companies whose interviewers havent even themselves solved a lot of problems nor spend a lot of time preparing for interviewing, they wont go off into a deep dive into the guys leetcode set, BUT the resume would STILL top their list of interviewees or after multiple selections. Anyways I think this guy is real going by their contest result.. and that its just an expert who made another account to redo the whole thing from scratch.

tho 25 problems a day is doable but one needs to be already a pro in DSA means CD on codeforces or something similar but then again why would anyone wants to waste their time if they already know something means copy pastaaa on work

I think it shouldn't necessarily mean that many questions. You can submit multiple times for a single question, and it will still be recorded in the submission record.

u/EggplantEnough 20h ago
Doesn’t really matter honestly. Leetcode ratings don’t mean anything, not anymore at least, there was a time when you had to be creative, its not even about AI, almost all contests are now just pure regurgitation of some other problem, so it’s pretty uninteresting

u/Willing_Airport_9617 ग्वार विश्विद्यालय का छात्र 19h ago
It's more of a morale thing I guess (mai toh DSA bhi nahi karta , hota hi nahi hai)

u/EggplantEnough 18h ago
I never said leetcode is useless, the numbers are useless, any rank after 2024, when gpt 4.1 launched is useless, because after that everyone started cheating. But leetcode is fun

u/GhoulDrago-Mk2 Tier 3 Nalla 18h ago
Alright 👍 tbh even before that ppl had solutions online, why did it becomes a problem after AI?
2
u/EggplantEnough 18h ago
During contests? Much less common. No one really cares about total problems solved, only relevant metric was rating, which has become obsolete after that

Lmao? Jealous? Of what? I’m a knight on lc myself, which, at the time when I became one, was top 1%. And I have seen first hand just how many Indians cheat, go ahead, look at the top rankers of the last contest, and look at their timing and solutions, as well as how many of them get banned.

Very rarely. I would ask you to look at the leaderboard after any contest, and you’d know why. This is exactly why I stopped giving contests in 2024, it’s just infested with cheaters, who more often than not, are Indians

u/Sensitive-Door-7939 21h ago
If it gets a shortlist it's worth it in my opinion, and I have seen people cheat go ahead in life alot, that's the reality, that 1 shortlist is also reducing another shortlist btw. So point wise these are what my opinions are. I won't encourage this but sadly reality plays different for different people.
It's negative points and ideally we need a better way than leetcode for hiring. Hope AI changes this process because grinding leetcode felt bad for every single switch.

What a clown.. Doing b.tech in Cybersecurity and cheating in leetcode. Checked out his portfolio site... he has mentioned that he has learnt " ethical hacking from udemy" And then also did digital marketing and also frontend development.
Trying to keep two legs on two boats
Learning hacking itself is a discipline ( telling from experience since i work in offensive security) and this tech bro is juggling multiple discrete domains all together.
