How long till you lose the ability to manually write code, you reckon?
I certainly foresee this happening and/or my ability to perform any future white boarding interviews adequately.
You won't be the only one, surely interviews are going to have to change once no one can do white boarding anymore!
A recent JetBrains survey I saw found that 85% of devs are using AI in some capacity.
Yup. I guess it’s also worth noting my past couple jobs have been from my network - so the interviews have been more of a informal behavioral/culture fit. But I won’t pretend my network will always give me that flexibility.
This is a problem for a ton of developers today. In my last round of interviews I heard a lot of consternation from people who were perfectly capable during the code review about their newly discovered inability to write code without AI.
The code review has always been a bigger hurdle than the writing in the past.
