Huh, I’m 100% going to interview this way the next time I have to hire an engineer. I can’t think of a better way to get a sense of how a candidate reasons about things, and of their values - do they have a sense of responsibility, conscientiousness, team fit.

All other things that could be LLM-mediated have no more signal.

Is this implying that you don't believe people will hire programmers anymore?

I also think we will never go back to good old days.
