"The null check syndrome"... when you get a null pointer exception and instead of figuring out what's wrong you just put `if (x == null) return;` at the top because you don't want to deal with it.

I'm just thinking.. AI made technical interviews impossible. Instead of take home assignment, watch them code WITH Claude? You can totally gauge their abilities by the way they ask things and fix issues. Plus, the way they "talk" to Claude might give an idea of their personality!

One of my mentor in my first internship said: "Before you ask me a question, try to have an answer ready, show me that you at least tried to find the answer yourself before asking."

This was an important life lesson for me.
