I failed a remote technical interview by writing a bad abstraction and mudding myself with it.
After the interview I rewrote the code, and sent an email with it and a well written apology.
The company thought the email and the code was chatgpt! I am still not sure how I feel about that.
- seabass-labrax 3y agoI think you might have missed a big-old .303 bullet there. If a company isn't able to recognise the value of going back and correcting your mistakes, even with the help of LLMs, it doesn't sound like a very nice working environment.
- jmjanzen 3y agoWow I am not looking forward to that in my future interviews. At least showing atomic little micro commits should probably give potential employers a view into your thought process? Although what am I saying, my current employer keeps pushing us to use AI tooling in our workflows, so I wonder how many employers will really care by then. I personally don't like using AI - I feel like it takes the fun out of work, and I have ethical issues with it. But I have many co-workers who do not feel this way.
