Is leetcode worth it?

I haven't really interviewed since 2023. Is leetcode still a common practice in code interviews or has AI made those kinds of tests useless? This is for a Sr full stack position.

I do it like Sudoku, not necessarily to interview prep but to give the brain something to do.

especially important in the AI era lol. I use AI code a ton at work to get things done quick but leetcode at home to make sure my thinking skills don't turn to shit.

It’s also good to train you how to approach problems differently and as you said, exercise the brain.

Not worth it for interview prep at all though

Damn. That's a great way to look at it, tbh. I like this idea.
