People still cheat, or try to. Some of our interviewers have seen candidates start out the interview being completely unable to answer the most basic questions about a programming language, only to flip around a few moments later and give almost encyclopaedic answers, with release dates for specific feature and comment on implementation details. One minute you can't do array slicing and now you're able to talk about the inner workings of the garbage collector? We're trying to be fair in hiring, every resume is manually read, interviews a conversations, there are no leet code, no tricks, no AI screening, but they are done remote and so far two out of three candidate clearly cheat, during a live interview, to cover up an impressive lack of general knowledge.
