Charles, TL;DR: I would not stop giving tech advice just because you can’t solve hard leetcode puzzels
Longer:
If this [solveing unseen leetcode hard problems in a BigTech interview format] is true, I will stop giving “advice” on any tech related post as this is out of my reference class.
If it influences your opinion:
I think I’m very good at leetcode puzzels
I give tech advice
I think those “skills” are almost totally unrelated.
It is very rare for me to actually teach someone how to solve leetcode
It is more common for me to just point out “cracking the coding interview” as a legit way to prepare for big-tech interviews, but knowing this is unrelated to my ability to solving the questions myself. (I know it because a Google recruiter recommended that book for me. I can elaborate)

Thank you for the thoughtful reply Yonatan!
