In the context of looking for a dev role in crypto, what’s the balance between relying on ai tools to code and knowing the proper syntax of things by heart? 

I feel like a jr dev could easily be considered a sr dev with the right ai tools when used correctly (not blindly).

My two cents: using AI tools “correctly” necessitates understanding the fundamentals.

You can probably get by on AI prompts alone if your team values speed of execution over quality, but assuming everyone else is doing the same just understand you’re still easily outpaced by someone with a “muscle memory” of identifying patterns and syntax unique to that programming language / tech stack.

By all means, use AI tools to bridge your gaps and accelerate learning (I do this all the time now for parts of the stack I’m unfamiliar with). But if I’m hiring you to work on a specific problem area, at minimum I’d expect you to have read lots of relevant docs/articles/videos, be extremely comfortable testing/evaluating different libraries/tools, make opinionated decisions and execute on them, which is easier the more experienced you are.
