From a hiring perspective, it’s becoming incredibly difficult to weed out AI bullshit. For every one qualified candidate I get, I’ve had to drop five or more in a fucking tech screen

God I'm so afraid to lose job now because I could never survive an interview these days.

I used to shine for things like takehome interview code problems and shit like that, where I had a chance to pause and think a bit and look up definitions and shit.
But those kinds of toy programs are actually the things that AI is actually good at, so now I can only differentiate myself by coding live in front of interviewers and memorizing trivia, both of which I'm terrible at, and don't reflect actual work.

Then you should probably have a portfolio of projects.

Between my workday and my family, when am I going to have time to make a portfolio of projects that are complex enough that an AI couldn't have generated them?
