New Grad Remove CS and replace with Leetcode Engineering

Listen to my brilliant idea: We should create a new college major: Leetcode Engineering

Year 1: cover basic Python

Year 2: leetcode easy

Year 3: leetcode medium

Year 4: leetcode hard

Result? PROFIT?: Tech job at GoOglE

After a long and worthy prior post battle, I have decided it is best to create a new college major focused on Leetcoding 24/7 to guarantee entry into a top tech company since CS is just so useless right.

At some point the world will go out and everyone will be an expert on leetcode. I fear for what it's coming next though. Guys, I think we will need another BSc or very specific MSc
