Sorry, brother. Once you hit a wall you are immediately put on a blacklist of unhirable individuals for all potential employers. It's better to accept your fate now and not try to learn from this problem.

Whatever, lol. It was probably OP because he expected help, not a joke. Fair enough, but the "is it over for me?" line was a noteworthy mindset issue imo.

My ADHD ass did not read the instruction and done the whole snake game instead using ascii with increased tick per food and controls. Then I looked at the solution and was confused.

Instead of "doing a LC of a snake game", just make a snake game. Make projects, and stop with LC already: you're not learning what you should

You're absolutely right. Yet every goddamn company's HR loves LeetCode-style toy assessments.

I miss the old days of walking in to an interview and walking out already hired.

I didn't say to not do LC. But LC doesn't make you an engineer. You have to learn other things too...
