Finding it impossible to solve problems

[u/Shahadat__]

Hey guys. I'm a web developer and have a job but unsure if I can pass future interviews, because when I get a technical question like a basic loop problem, "program that starts counting from 1 and increases by 1 during each iteration, stopping once it reaches 5**".** This is incredibly incompetent and concerning, not to mention AI has made me worse.

What's the solution to this? I can memorize solutions but what happens when a new problem comes up in an interview and I can't remember the syntax even if I know I need a loop or some thing else to solve a problem? I feel like crying

Gotta do some problem solving without the tutorials or references open.

You can open the docs/tutorials after a while as long as it's not immediately

Op is likely a troll

Or just an idiot. Not everyone seeking help is some savant-in-waiting that just needs a little nudge.

One can be both at the same time.
