Is Leetcode a way to help weed out older folks? Older folks who have worked in infrastructure (devops/sre where btrees algos mean jack shit) or management (where you haven't coded in a few years)?


For me (40s) my Leetcode skills have gotten noticeably worse over time even though I'm a much better IC than I was. I'm sure I could improve my skills by practicing but I have a family and other responsibilities. I think Leetcode does weed out older folks, not necessarily because of skill, but because of the time needed for practice.
