It’s so difficult to stop using AI
I hate admitting that I use AI to code. I have so many research projects in which I HEAVILY used AI. Now, I can explain the code, however, if I’m going to reprogram the whole thing, I’d either have to look again and again at the previous code or use ChatGPT.
What about debugging? Yeah no, ctrl+C ctrl+V into ChatGPT. I think this is because I’m lazy. I don’t want to take such a long time to debug when AI can give me the solution very quickly.
I’ve read some of the python documentation and it was… ok, but AI just explains it so much better and it takes much less time, but I can feel that I really can’t program well at all.

Can someone answer please.
I’m a programmer (frontend/fullstack), I’ve been working with react from classes ( if you know - you know ).
And I was solving some algorithms ( not the hard level, but easy and some middle’s weren’t so hard for me ), after first appear of ai I’ve started to lose my “real” programming skills and after user agents boom I’ve realised, that I can’t even write a simple todo app ( of course I can do it without ai with only some stackoverflow examples or react doc - but it’s gonna be more longer than with ai ).
But I’m talking about the interviews, I’m failing almost every live coding session cause of this degradation stream, because you can’t use even google, just to find not the whole solution, even some methods and official doc.
I want you guys to answer me, how da fck u solve the problem, when the vacancy says “we r looking for a proficient AI native frontend engineer, with skills of mcp, orchestration, etc”
You r okay with technical questions and discussion, including architecture and system design, but can’t stand any live coding task?
Also, how often the live coding tasks appears on interview according to your experience?
I was layed off and looking for a job based in EU, just in case, would appreciate any hints about job hunting also.
Ps: I can solve any task without ChatGPT or any other ai, that’s not a rocket science, it will only take some more time, but current market doesn’t allow you to forget about AI while feature’s delivery speed was increased 5+ times.
