Yea, this one made me laugh a bit.

There is probably a lot I am missing with regards to implementation, but I think it would be a step in the right direction with regards to improving interviews.

A step forward but that doesn't address the main issue

For a candidate to get the job, they need to give some proof that they will be able to learn to do the job. Obviously. But candidates overfocus on this part. Lots of people stress out even if they are good enough. In fact they don't have to know it all, they will have plenty of opportunities to learn on the job

On the other hand most candidates under invest in their "getting a job" skills. they are terrible at that because you don't learn that at school and you don't change jobs every year.

Nothing "slightly better than leetcode" will fix the second problem which is more important.
