> Then the interviewer asked me why I used Queue<T>. I couldn't answer

And this was before AI. Imagine the amount of people who will never be able to answer similar questions. I am going to maybe have a bad take, but if you don't know what you're doing, you shouldn't be working in the field until you do. It's not okay to wing it into new roles with more responsibility.

On one hand, now anyone can ask AI to explain Queue<T>.

On the other hand, most people aren't curious enough to ask.

And that kicker has been around since salaries have been high. I've interviewed people who flat out had zero interest outside of work in the field. Who only took a degree because of the salary.

It's incredible how a creative field that also happens to be critical to so many things can be infested by people who just don't care.
