(the following advice is quoted from a U of M Department of Computer Science educator)

"But ChatGPT can do it for me" -> Not during an interview!

Understanding and Wisdom > Knowledge

❌ Knowledge (Knowing the WHAT): Reading and memorizing answers to a lot of leetcode (or asking generative ai for complete code) shouldn't be your first and only strategy
- Implementation changes, memorized information becomes obselete
- Memorization trains brain to only recognize patterns
- AI is sometimes inaccurate
✔️ Understanding (Know the WHY): Try and struggle to solve problems
- Brain learns how to solve challenges
- Demonstrates capabilities of yourself
- Expose yourself to your workspace environment's capabilities
💡 Wisdom (Knowing the HOW): Building a good mental model requires effort
- Knowledge alone cannot teach you how to perform tasks and solve problems
- Keep practicing, learning technology is meant to bend and shape critical thinking brains
- "Companies look for wise, and adaptable programmers, not IT vibe coders"
