I know exactly what you mean. I once tried to do code dojos in a company i worked. Interns besides senior and "regular" devs (whatever the hell that means). A 20 minute duration is not much to solve a problem and we time boxed it to 2 hours (with discussions between the iterations).
With each iteration the interest in solving the problem shrunk more and more. I think when you deal with complex problems on a daily basis you need a lot of discipline to challenge yourself to do these "trivial" task to learn more.
So maybe it is a motivational problem. And you are absolutely right that everybody once in a while should do these kind of tasks. And even if it is only to stay "sharp"
For further actions, you may consider blocking this person and/or reporting abuse
We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.
