Terrible coding interview advice found on r/leetcode.

I give it a 75% chance it backfires.

The interviewer may:
- ask you to solve it anyway and judge you more harshly to compensate (not all interviewers have a backup question ready btw)
- ask you to explain the high-level solution
- give you the follow-up directly, which is basically a harder version of the same question instead

Also, if the interviewer uses their own unique question, that's gonna be awkward...
