  • It’s all because it’s cheaper to talk to LLM machine that outputs most probable phrases based on statistics than to talk to people these days. It’s accessibility thing. You have a feeling that you’re speaking with a person, it’s whole trick. It says much about who we are as people.

    Amount of effort needed to ask questions and not being hated in real life is way bigger than asking LLM.

    Adding more to the topic of AI as a whole is that you need to realize that we have completly new kind of computer software that is non deterministic. It’s a completly new thing and comparing it to traditional software is just pointless and confusing.

    I’m not saying I would provide my life to LLM, but the fact that we developed software that is always generating readable output is a huge step in software development.



  • I don’t think good job interview is about answering right or wrong questions. It’s more about talking with human you could work with and if that human is able to think his way out because it’s engineering job after all.

    I am contractor as well I only did job interviews as a side quest and I also frequently fail my job interviews, there is nothing bad there.

    Personally I didn’t like 90% of job interviews and there were plenty of them. Most of those people tried to convince me they are smarter and better then me and I am lucky I am speaking with them. But unfortunatelly that’s how it looks like.

    Most people that excpect right or wrong answers are just morons in my opinion because programming is about being wrong 90% of the time.

    Good Luck








  • Honestly when I was doing interview I always tried to ask simple questions about data structures or technologies from CV like what’s the difference between array / list and set, or set and map, I got 90% people failing those answers, sometimes it was stress and you could feel it, so I even helped them with answers and always tried to encourage them so they get rid of stress and start thinking. All of people I hired turned out to be good workers and still work in those companies. I think we just slowly forget how to talk with each other. With all the technology around us, we’re losing empathy.
