So there’s AI that’s really good at doing the skills we’re hiring for. We want you to not use AI so we can hire you for a job that we’re saying we’re going to replace with AI. Sounds like a great plan.
We need to know that the developer actually has skills and isn't just secretly copying the answer off of a hidden screen. We are interviewing now, and some cantidates are obviously cheating. Our interview process is not leet code based, and reasonably chill, but we will probably have to completely rethink the process.
Since we are hiring contractors, in theory we can let them go after a couple months if they suck, but we haven't tested out how this will work in practice.
