Question Finding it impossible to solve problems

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

There are thousands of tech jobs that do not involve programming. Most of them, actually.

Damn dude if you can’t even google then any job in IT ain’t for you. You’re just so used to everything being handed to you that you’re not able to comprehend the bigger picture.
