Agreed, something is odd about this. A few people have sent me code that ChatGPT has written for them. They don’t have the capability to determine if the code is good so they ask me. If the result is even something that will compile or address the asked problem at all, it’s barely competent nonsense that only a beginner programmer would write. For example asking it for code that will generate recipes, and you get back code for a random selection from an array with “Italian, Chinese, pizza”. It never asks clarifying questions either, it’s perfectly happy with a “garbage in garbage out” approach. So if ChatGPT is passing the interview, the interview questions are not selecting for what I would consider a good developer.
- jeffbee 4y agoExactly. The point of the interview is for two people to have an exchange of thoughts, not for the candidate to literally program the whiteboard. All of my interview feedback on candidates centered around how they asked clarifying questions given incomplete or ambiguous prompts, and how they explained the limitations and assumptions of their approach. Whether or not they reached a conclusion was footnoted.
