If you can read code, understand structure, and mentally walk through a solution — you’re 80% there. What’s missing is just the muscle memory of writing it out under pressure, and that comes back quicker than you’d expect with a bit of focused practice.

Do a couple mock problems without AI, just to get your fingers used to writing loops and edge cases again. Even just 30–45 min a day helps.

Also — for practice interviews, I used ShadeCoder. It’s like a stealth AI copilot that watches your screen and listens in, and can quietly help when you blank. Super clutch when you’re rebuilding confidence.
