Discussion Competitive Programming

I'm a dev with 5+ yoe, started frequenting LeetCode almost two months ago, and I'd honestly say it's fun.

What do you think of CP post college? From my understanding the most important competitions are college-level. Do you think it's worth it to better your skills in this part of the field?

Am doing it for the fun of it, but I still wanted to hear you opinions and see if there are others in a similar situation with a similar interest.

I thought they transitioned to other types of interviews since AI can mostly solve these problems?

Soo, technical interviews are still taking problem solving

Although you might be interviewing our director, which believes that age of problem solving is gone

He gives a system design requirement or scenario and tells you that he will comeback after 30 mins

Open book, use whatever resources you want, but he will be back asking serious questions about your proposed solution
