Question up Front:

For those who have worked a massive amount of systems, scripting, and architecture, and automation for all of the above with scripting (PowerShell and some Bash), how did you use Leetcode to prep? Simply work the questions, or is there a learning path? Or is it super focused by topic?

Background:

New to Leetcode - know basics of Java and C#, have been a DBA, data analyst, and know basics of AI/ML, as well as Azure and AWS administration with templated infrastructure-as-code (can also navigate around source control and scrum management). I also know a ton around data and systems security.

I can go the solutions architect road but would prefer to try my hand on software development for a while - I think it will round out my other skills and make me far more valuable. Additionally and quite frankly, I need a break from admin and services/consulting related roles for a bit and would like to work in engineering.
