What is Cursor though? Started seeing it in the memes first

I agree coding has become quite easy with AI 
 Making stuff is not that hard anymore

Without using single line of code,It took me less than 60 minutes to build a total of 10 games ( Wordle, Tetris, Atari Breakout , Chess, Go, classic Snake etc.

Without using single line of code,It took me less than 60 minutes to build a total of 10 games ( Wordle, Tetris, Atari Breakout , Chess, Go, classic Snake etc. ). Use it to believe it! All you need is to give precise English command. 

I have been coding since 20 years and cursor to me seems like biggest paradigm shift. And it is only going to surprise us year on year.

And magic of reasoning softwares like Alpha code, q*(strawberry) etc. haven't been released yet. I just can't fathom how easy it will become to be a solopreneur once .

So I am a fresher who joined this decent company where they pay me a decent salary. I got allotted to a project in place of an Senior Swe.  It's been 2 months and I have been given tickets regarding features requests . The work is not easy at all. The team consists of 5 people where there are only 2 developers me and my manager. He is mostly busy so he just provides me an overview about the code base which is 30 years old . The languages are C, C++ and C#. I have been working on this feature request for the past 3 weeks and the pressure is immense. I am feeling so terrible that I am not able to deliver. I just don't like this feeling. I try and try and try but some things are just way above my expertise. I have always been good at coding but to contribute to a real world project is really tough. It's also quite frustrating as at every step you have to deal with multiple problems. My manager is a good guy overall but today he told me that I really need to amp up my game. And deliver. I just don't like to be mediocre but I am just stuck at this point. Am I overthinking? Or me feeling this way is normal. I just want suggestions from different people of this sub!!

They are suggesting that I buy all ai bullshit premiums.

And my teammates think that chat gpt can write a fully fledged application.

Can you share some underrated tools (Software) you use in o5ffice?

Underrated Tools

Analytics Manager

That's not what am saying or pre assuming.

But the brain behind those supercomputers h100 and all, who is making LLMs train faster.

GPT 5.0 can do miracles and imagine 8.0 coupled with those 1nm GPUs.

I still believe that not 100% can be replaced but yes 60-70% roles will be redundant.

Top 10% will survive and thrive if ride the ai wave.

What do u think viners?

But this isn't the first time a tech exec has predicted the death of coding.

Jensen Huang says kids shouldn't learn to code — they should leave it up to AI

Everyone needs a working code in the first attempt and that two proper and optimised. 

But DSA round I believe comes with luck based factor. You need to be lucky enough to get a question which you have done or seen before. 

Or have yourself updated with each structure and almost every type of problem. 

Fucked up and interview today.

Why is there nothing beyond DSA?

Prediction below, open to feedback and criticism:

As soon as GPT can learn programming languages through self reinforcement learning, it will become invincible and you will be able to create webapps at negligible cost by just giving it objectives. Coding as a career is likely downhill from here on.

Right now, we are in the DeepBlue version of GPT. It has learned from all the code available online just like DeepBlue had all human chess moves till then as its training data.

But AlphaZero learned on its own from ground up, and similarly led to AlphaGo later on.

Future GPT will learn all programming languages on its own from ground up, and deliver fully functional apps at neglible cost.

Future GPT is to Coding what AlphaZero is to Chess

I guess the title clears it. I just sat for 4 hours in front of the screen doing.....nothing. 
How to work ?

I know excercise, write journal etc. all that self help stuff...i do it....still unable to work.

just like we need physical workouts to keep our bodies healthy, we need to do mental exercises to keep our brain sharp

do you do any brain exercises intentionally?
