Skills are trained by practice and thinking. Skilled people will never be subsidized by AI. Unskilled juniors, who don't train properly will go into tranches (as it's already happening).
Whelp, the opening “problem zero” stuffed me up. > A number is a perfect square, or a square number, if it is the square of a positive integer. For example, is a square number because ; it is also an odd square. The first 5 square numbers are: , and the sum of the odd squares is .

Earlier quoted context omitted.
I've personally found the opposite. In order to advance you need to know the specific techniques or mathematics and there are no hints or information on how to approach the problem. So it boils down to how much of that mathematics you know. If you don't then the brute force approaches take a long time to find the solution.
I disagree. Often the techniques that you need for a harder problem, are discussed in a forum for an easier problem. Even more often the techniques that you need for a given problem are possible to work out from scratch. And the more you work out, the easier they get. This can be very frustrating for people who are used to being spoon fed techniques, then given problems which use what they have just been taught. But…
12 years ago I was a failed computer science student, wasting my time on drugs. Having failed so many classes I did not see any future at all, and I was considering killing myself to get out of the anxiety and stress. My confidence regarding programming etc was 0. I decided to apply for a junior developer job. I got an interview and to prepare for an interview I found this site, Project Euler. I did ten or so tasks.…

How did you get to problem 0? When I look at the list of problems it starts at 1: https://projecteuler.net/archives
I think a hat-tip is due to freeCodeCamp for introducing Project Euler (along with Rosetta Code) to a new generation of programmers: https://www.freecodecamp.org/learn/project-euler/#project-eu...
