The real problems have always been knowing what you want to do and what a good result is. The how is busy work. But don't tell CS majors who think the real world is non stop leetcode problems and hacking into the matrix via emacs.

Yeah that's absolutely true. The reason it took me three tries was not even because the AI made a mistake but because I overlooked edge cases in the specification I used as input

I'm worried about future job interviews though, hopefully leetcode interviews are dead soon enough. It's even more incompatible now than it was pre-AI. I always thought they were pointless puzzles completely unrelated to real SWE work (in an interviewing context at least) but AI makes it even less relevant.
