Is this just jeets copypasting from chatGPT or other people's solutions?

I've recently started on it and, in the cases where there is something identifying nationality, LITERALLY EVERY SINGLE ONE of the comments I've seen on the site and on the r*ddit page is Indian. But the other thing I noticed is that the submissions seem to be unusually 'good', but only really in the sense of beating the metrics. Sometimes I will finish a problem in the most idea way that any normal person would use, then be faster than maybe 40% even after optimizing it. Then when I look at the other solutions the fastest ones are obscure hacks that very few programmers would know, totally different from the solution expected by the site, yet sometimes maybe 30-40% will do it like that.

Is there any way to see things like submissions by country? I would be very interested to see this but couldn't find any such breakdown on the site. I suspect the vast majority of submissions are done by people who have effectively zero actual programming ability. It doesn't really make any difference to anything it's still a useful resource, but I just thought it's funny. Some of the comments have solved hundreds of upwards of a thousand and can't understand really basic concepts. For what purpose? Why would they do this?

A weird thing with Indians is they love to cheat even when it doesn't benefit them. They love always thinking they are being sneaky and getting one over on someone. I don't know why they are like that.

It always was.

Yes.
A shit load of 0ms python solutions have a line that overwrites the output file that is created on the server with the time score with a 0 as well.

For people who never used the site, there are no safeguards at all against cheating, and in fact you can just look at the solutions. Even the very best user submitted ones, not just some default solution. Yet there are still leaderboards and rankings. They have tried to 'gamify' the coding process, which is quite good actually. But only for personal development, the social features and rankings are a complete waste of time because anyone can just copy any of the other answers.

That's pretty cool actually, can you show me this?

Basically any solution where the body of people are more than 0ms you'll find the code samples at 0ms with this.

they copypaste solutions from websites that list solutions

Hahaha. I like this. Presumably you can do the same with the memory score? Seems they should close this loophole, but then again if you're willing to cheat like that then you would just cheat some other way anyway, at least with that one it's easy to spot.

I haven't tried it myself to see if the loophole is still open. They may have closed it but left all the submissions there.

kek, no way.
I don't understand soulless leetcode slop anyway. it seems like something like advent of code won. discrete solutions that can be solved as long as you can fill out some form on a site. stops shit like execution time epeen bullshit especially since most the time is totally variable because of their infra.

they have asian-tier expectations in school without an asian-tier honor culture
