I've developed the perfect ai-proof interview format to evaluate practical engineering skills. No puzzles, 100% your own code, ai allowed, still tests fundamental abilities
Designing a hybrid takehome/onsite engineering interview. The takehome is time-boxed, with clear instructions to not just ai generate a solution. They agree. So far every candidate basically one shots a solution with v0 or claude and submits it with all the ai artifacts included
AI phone calls are becoming indistinguishable. If you’re talking to someone new, you might want to test them. Act like you can't hear and see if they modulate their voice. Or, ask them to clap
If it turns out to be a bot, you can set up chatgpt to keep the call going to burn…
LLMs help you move fast, but without strong leadership and a caring team they’re a net negative
- Hiring is more ambiguous than ever
- You can't tell what code is intentional anymore
- LLM reliance will turn sr. engineers’ brains to mush
- They're less helpful as codebase scales
It's important to remember that "technology influencers" can be bad role models. Many encourage people to be "fans of technology" instead of actual developers of technology.
Hot takes are easy, writing good code is not.
The problem with indie hacking is that it’s a culture of glueing together frameworks and services. If your project fails, what marketable skills have you learned? It’s far more +EV to build a challenging side project that has no intent on ever getting users
