AI Writes Code Now. Should You Still Learn Competitive Coding? | EP 01

AI can write code now. So is competitive coding still worth learning? In EP 01 of the Competitive Coding series, I cover what competitive coding actually is, why companies still use it to filter candidates, the deeper reason it makes you a better engineer, and why it matters even more as we move from single AI agents to whole software factories. I've been rejected in interviews because I was missing this exact skill, so this series is the guide I wish I had.
