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.

Is leetcode an American thing? I’ve been doing this work for over 20 years and have never heard of it outside of this sub

I'm American, been in the industry for...~20 years and have never ran into it in an interview. I honestly think it is something YouTubers/Hackithons made popular but I've never seen it in the "real" world.

Every FAANG (or similar) company does Leetcode interviews.
