Looks like the majority of HNers commenting here are showing clear signs of envy or resentment over this person's achievement. That's all I need to know about HN right here.
So you know what?
Massive congratulations to this student being so good that they don't need to take a LeetCode interview. Leetcode is not the only way.
Perhaps the ones that do have to take the coding interview probably haven't built something interesting themselves...
Either way, Leetcode, Hackerrank tests for hiring etc are all garbage. Great that this student's work speaks for itself enough to get an internship at Apple.
