The people who prided themselves on raw puzzle-solving ability got hit hard. Those who are idea-driven and architecture-oriented feel like they got handed a superpower.
It's quite a big shock at the industry level because the entire software engineering job interview process at essentially all large companies was heavily biased towards well-defined, raw problem-solving under time constraints which is precisely the skill which AI has replaced.
