A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

The thing is, I'd rather spend the time discussing the code and algorithms and design choices with someone who has had time to actually think through a problem. The reality is that I don't care if you generate boilerplate code with the AI as long as you can explain it. I am mostly hiring for DSP roles so there's plenty of theory to talk about above and beyond the code to ferret out the phonies.
My beef with live coding interviews is that you end up with the exact opposite experience. You get a nervous, scatterbrained engineer who is locked into panic code generation mode and there's just no time to have a deeper discussion.
