@BroDrillard @KarlDahl @sickburnbro Yes. It's an utter shit show.

I've been in a hiring role and I give problems to solve involving algorithms. Not easy but there's only one or two of them and only part of the interview process. They literally cannot do the work. They'll immediately want to start writing code for whatever reason and I have to explain to them it's not a coding exercise. We don't do coding exercises. Just solve the problem. No clue.

Leetcode and Code Academy have had a very bad effect. People have every expectation that they just grind 100's if not a 1000 or more coding problems and that's their ticket to a 6 figure salary.

They don't want to have to think and resent it if you demand it from them.

Then we can start on basic literacy. Without using grammarly or some other AI assist for spelling, grammar and content. Again, no clue.
