Wake up guys, coding is gone...90% code will be generated by AI
Even Cisco is late in achieving this success. All development is moved to offshore and tomorrow AI becomes dominant all the offshore development will be trashed. When AI can generate excellent code then what is use of leetcode ?

I will bet any one of the brilliant Cisco engineers 100$ if they can answer one of my questions in 5 mins. If there is anyone just let me know.

I bet none of the Cisco engineers have solved anything beyond the easy level in leetcode. But they'll ask all the tough questions
