Yes! My role is not programming. But often I write code in Google Apps Scripts or Python to automate processes. An example would be like when one of our salespeople closes a deal they complete a task in our sales software that triggers a bu

So except for playing with computers class then school should be mostly analog? Yeah, I do think that kids would get a ton out of hands-on analog classes where they learn logic, problem solving, etc.

Right that’s why I don’t care that much about AI use in interviews even when it’s “banned.” People are going to break rules. There are rules you would break that I wouldn’t break. There are rules I would break that you wouldn’t break. There

I thought this might be the case but checked it and nope, everybody paid doing the exact same thing and some getting different reasons why it won’t work and some getting actual output. I’ll admit we didn’t test exact same word for word prom

I love when people spend a ton of time spouting takes like this. I just hope they keep feeling that way and avoid LLMs. Less competition for those of us who are using them to make our jobs/lives easier every day.

I don’t follow every rule in the world and don’t expect anyone else to either. It’s a risk using AI in a job interview situation like you describe and if I thought the risk was worth the reward I might do it. I mean maybe there’s some very

I think you hit on a key part. You have to adjust a bit so that AI doesn’t allow anyone to pass through your process. Like I used to do small writing samples from most candidates. That’s gone now and for client facing roles, I replaced it w

I hire for a variety of knowledge work roles (albeit not software engineering). If somebody can figure out a way to pass the interview with AI they can probably figure out how to do the job. If they can’t, they get fired. Some people who pa

I don't understand why this is varying so widely person to person. I was just able to use a photo of a famous athlete and a photo of myself and get them to shake hands in a photo of a location where neither of us have ever been. Some p

You’ve just found a roundabout way to repeat the idea that you don’t like that someone else is getting what you believe to be an unfairly large piece of the pie. Because currently in the world today, the owner of the business is earning 100

Yes, that is the real conversation. 100% seems delusional to me because you're saying that the company deserves no profit for doing the work of providing you customers to provide value for? It also seems to ignore the fact that some of

Who cares what the experts say? Look for yourself and see what applies in your specific situation.
