Something comes across really badly here for me. Some weird mix of bragging, mocking, with a hint of aloof.
I feel these top end companies like the smell of their own farts and would be an insufferable place to work. This does nothing but reinforce it for some reason.
- sponnath 9mo agoI have to agree. It's off-putting to me too. I'm impressed by the performance of their models on this take-home but I'm not impressed at their (perhaps unintentional) derision of human programmers.
- qbane 9mo agoRemember: It is a company that keep saying how much production code can be written by AI in xx years, but at the same time recruiting new engineers.
- yodsanklai 9mo agoThanks for noticing this. I got the same feeling when reading this. It may not sound like much, and it doesn't mean it's an insufferable place to work, but it's a hint it might be. Rant: On a similar note, I recently saw a post on Linkedin from Mistral, where they were bragging to recruit candidates from very specific schools. That sounded very pretentious (and also an HR mistake on several levels IMHO).
