I love how Scrimba lets me pause and code directly in the lesson it’s way more engaging than traditional video tutorials. Does the new Instant Feedback feature adapt to different coding styles, or is it based on a fixed set of solutions?

Wow, I love The Dev Atrophy Test! Perfect for passing boring time.

@sonatanpaulΒ That's the spirit!

Apart from doing a good job at what's its supposed to do, it defo highlights the skill atrophy issue that is soon gonna be(if not already has) gone widespread in the industry

@bakar_khanΒ thanks! that was the intention besides the exercises, to get folks thinking and discussing how to best work with AI tools πŸ‘―

Love this take on browsing PH, feels way more natural and less like I’m scanning a spreadsheet. It would be awesome to have a β€œrandomize” view too for serendipity.

Does it count as AI making me smoothbrained if I was always smoothbrained to begin wiht?

Congratulations on the launch! πŸš€ The concept of testing raw coding skills in an AI-dominated era is intriguing. How do you ensure the assessment remains relevant to real-world development scenarios? Also, will there be adaptive challenges for different skill levels?

Saad Khan

As a Software Engineer, this was exactly what I needed. It's easy to get comfortable with AI helping out, but this platform forces you to strengthen your core problem-solving muscles. It's a great reminder that true skill comes from understanding the fundamentals, not just finding quick solutions. I'd recommend this to any dev who wants to ensure their foundations are solid.
