Been programming for about 30 years... this AI brain fry is very real. I would be very scared to take an interview right now...
replyTo be honest I started to do leetcodes exactly because of that. They still require exams at interviews. But honestly it was quite fun.
replyI agree that coding problems are not particularly necessary for preventing atrophy, but it would be going to far to say that people are merely panicking.
replyI think maybe we're conflating strictly cognitive facilities, facilities that can be maintained through all sorts of means, with intellectual skills and habits that really are in danger of atrophy when we rely too much on AI.
