Leetcode is famous for being a perfect platform for practicing coding problems and to master coding interviews
It is famous for being yet another malicious HR tool to filter out applicants, playing them off against each other and depress wages of professionals. Leetcode “problems” have basically nothing to do with actual day-to-day software developing work, a fact many interviewers seem to be oblivious about. Answering those questions about abstruse algorithms or abstract problems isn’t a indicator of how well you do on the actual job. Gaining experience through working on small (Open Source) projects on your own, interning at different companies or being able to integrate fast in existing workflows/project structures is.
Before wasting your time grinding those useless questions and stupidly memorizing the answers, ask yourself: “Do I really want to work for an employer who treats his applicants this way and puts so little effort in understanding the actual requirements of this job?”. Because the way applicants are treated speaks volumes about the rest of the company.

Back then, when I was still in academia, I actually put every paper I wrote and the corresponding data/code on my academic website for everyone to download. I can’t understand why this isn’t required for every (publicly funded) researcher!
I use Owncloud, hosted on one of my webservers, to ditch gmail as my last google service a couple of months ago. With the contacts/calendar add ons you can easily sync your data via CardDAV and CalDAV.
