Interesting the last decade of interviews has been leetcode bullshit which is utterly obsolete now given AI can do all that

So what is a software engineer? An SRE?

Someone who can translate an ambiguous business need into a computer system that solves it.

I think Cory Doctorow described said eng manager as a "human crumple zone" that serves to absorb the blame for failures.
