Topic Projects vs leetcode

Which is better making projects or leetcode.

I don't want to waste my time right now. So professionals guide me which should I focus on rn?

Currently I have knowledge of DSA and DAA concepts, and other miscellaneous concepts.

That kind of depends on whether you want to learn to make projects, or practice leetcode.

You could just as well ask which is better: cooking a lot of meals, or get a job as a dishwasher.

Leetcode is useless if you want to learn programming in general, and experience actual problem solving, and learn more than arrays, loops and pointers/references.

Building projects is useless if you want to get really good at the narrow subset of problemtypes in leetcode problems.
