The strong language used aside, indeed, we should be cautious of our own potential biases when screening or otherwise. I am imagining an AI saying my CV is AI-generated, when in reality, I do not even use Auto-correct or Auto-suggest when I

I agree as such. Do note that there's finite amount of training data though and humankind is already close to the limits.

I agree about vanilla FizzBuzz. It's like a 'hello, world' of coding. My comment is about the several other rules brought in. I still do not see the rules added as a reflection of a real world problem. When I interview, I on

In general, any made up problem (i.e., with no real utility) is just a puzzle and I would prefer to walk out unless I do need the/a job. What a pity when interviewers can't even think of a real world problem for an interview. Mos

To the best I now understand, the jump address is allowed to be an expression using a specified bit variable. That would mean that the language has means to compile an expression for evaluation at the run time. If I am understanding corre

+1. The article hints at a worry about college applications by the student. So perhaps this was an attempt to clean the student's slate of the cheating record. Still, I can't support the approach taken.
