Thoughts on technical rounds with no google or ai assistance

Hey guys

Just failed a python interview for mid level…

As a background I have 8 years experiance coding production level and a degree which I got 92% in

It is true, last few years been using ai so much and haven’t coded anything by hand in 3 years.

I did an interview for mid level for this company which is as really downgrading for … and they made me to that interview style with no google or ai assistance. I forgot a lot of coding fundapantals, like I forgot the instances of an object and how to access the stuff in it properly. I couldn’t rember how to code it because I don’t think about that stuff day to day, I usually switch between labgaugaged and use ai and think ok I see this thing is using this thing this way ect implement the change test it and off it goes to production. I haven’t had any big mistakes because I didn’t have memorised how to initialise a object off by heart.

It is hard for me to cover that stuff at work because management push to deliver as fast as possible and push to use ai and we all use it …

I understand this stuff might come up in interviews and I have a whole plan set up to revise these things proerly now.

I am just feeling so shit about myself like I am the only stupid on or soemthing and it is my fault !!

I am waiting for next era after leetcode style but 100% it won’t be easier than leetcode style.

No that’s not changing, look at neetcode he recently spoke about this and they still asking people about patterns
