I just got asked to do the problem where you calculate permutations of coins to total X cents problem. I spent 2 minutes with Claude passing their test suite. I had 58 minutes left in the test so I redid the solution with dynamic programming, converted to TypeScript, added JSDoc annotations, runtime profiling, caching, even some Easter Eggs. They loved it.
I don’t know what the point of these quizzes are now. Actually I never knew what the point was. At least they are amusing now.
- grajaganDev 2y agoGreat point - AI makes Leetcode obsolete.
- ipunchghosts 2y agoI partially agree with this. Using AI has sped up my work by about 30% so far but only in cases where i need boiler plate to get going and i have written the correct algorithmic solution many times before and can quickly check it. I think it might be better to have them find bugs in code as opposed to write it from scratch. Interesting idea!
