I did my first “AI-assisted interview” and I’m a fan. Live coding is my kryptonite. Producing, explaining, disagreeing, and improving things is much more my speed for problems I’ve never seen before.
95% reduction in typos. My 10x engineering moment was refreshing the Claude webpage when it hung.
In the same day I received a formal rejection for a place I felt I interviewed well and a notification that I’m moving on to the next round for an interview I did objectively badly. Like what.
I hate Coderpad.

Another random hiring anecdote from this round: I was offered the choice of a more complex AI-assisted vs a simpler non-AI live coding challenge. I mentioned this to another potential employer and they mentioned they are going to offer the same in 2ish weeks.

My neighbor from hell (according to me) put their house up for sale. The previous owner was a neighbor from hell (according to my other neighbors). I’m happy they are potentially moving but I’m dreading whoever else moves into this cursed home. 3rd inhabitants can’t be from hell, right?
