The leetdashboard says three printfs a week, each in its own check in, defines a top performer. Winning!
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’m about 20 years. Spent some weeks practicing that noise. It’s easy unless you’re aiming for the most optimized solutions.
Why are you then still at Cisco???
I’m about 20 years. Spent some weeks practicing that noise. It’s easy unless you’re aiming for the most optimized solutions. But it does make me want to claw my face off and all of it has zero to do with my day to day job.
if you need to use leetcode to source your interview questions, I'm not worried about anything you'll be asking.
Maybe apply to government contract jobs or Boeing?
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.
Age is irrelevant, there is no development being done in the US anymore.
I wrote more leet code that leetcode ever did.
my code and algorithms processes most of the packets flying around the internet. not scared or insecure like @OP
Did they mention Cisco will be using leetcode in its interviews?
This is the time you wish to have been investing for the last "20 years"
Time to retire and let Gen Z take over IT. You deserve it!
I bet none of the Cisco engineers have solved anything beyond the easy level in leetcode. But they'll ask all the tough questions
