The author warns that those who study traditionally will be outcompeted unless they start using these AI tools. However, the author also notes that people using AI are often caught, but this is due to selection bias as it's only noticeable when it's obvious. The proposed solution is to conduct interviews in person. The author concludes by urging interviewers to care about this issue as AI cannot yet perform all functions of a software developer, meaning the hired candidate will have to perform these tasks.
Key takeaways:
- The difficulty of interview questions has significantly increased due to the use of AI, with companies now expecting candidates to solve complex problems in less than 30 minutes.
- People are using tools like Ultracode to solve these complex interview questions, which can handle any technical question.
- There is a risk of being outcompeted unless individuals start using these AI tools, creating a tragedy of commons.
- The author suggests conducting interviews in person as a solution to prevent cheating with AI tools.
