For past few weeks, I've been prepping for interviews. One thing that caught my eye was the difficulty of questions have dramatically increased.
In 2021, you were expected to solve a question in DP/recursion/trees etc in 45 minutes. which is tough by itself.

This question requires DP on graphs with bit masking and backtracking. (Maybe topological sorting too.)

YES. Because AI can't do all functions of a software developer (yet). This means the phony guy you hire will have to do them. and you have to oversee the activity.
