You seem to respond to many of my posts, why are you so bitter and angry?

Not a complaint, genuinely asking, therefore does not break the rules.

Are you actually hiring? I applied for one of these exact roles not long ago and interviewed, but received a generic rejection about how you found another, better, candidate. I use your product and really like it, seemed like we had a good vibe and my skillset exactly aligned with the JD.

I've asked others who've applied for these roles and the story seems the same. I'd hate to have my time, your time, or another candidate's time wasted.

Well I an tell you right now you don't need 4wd, it snows like a MF where I live and if you have FWD with proper snow tires (which you should regardless), you will drive circles around 4WD/AWD cars with just all season tires on in winter.

Just buy a mid-2010's honda civic or a toyota camry.

Yep, because that's all AI is; a parrot. For well-defined problems it works great... BECAUSE THEIR WELL DEFINED.

Generative AI is only as good as the dataset that you give it, so for problems that exist in a heavily contrived and parameterized space (like leetcode-style problems) it works really well. But give it a novel problem with intertwining libraries and external dependencies along with custom type and structure definitions, it's going to fall flat.

Humans do something AI can't, and that's draw from experience to apply a solution on a novel problem. This is why I'm not terribly worried about AI coming for engineer jobs anywhere in the near future. I use ChatGPT all the time to write me small functions, generate regular expressions, etc. Basically all the drudgery.

I'd argue we've hit peak-AI at this point because from this point on, all datasets are going to be colored by AI-generated results. Generative-AI is now on a trajectory were it'll simply regress to the mean of knowledge.

LOL, because it's totally not gross or a conflict of interest in any way. Keep licking those billionaire boots, I bet they taste like caviar.

It's not rumored.

Thanks, Jack Welch. May you burn in hell for making the 21st century worker-employer relationship so adversarial.

These questions don't get placed on their job ads by chance and they aren't done in a vacuum; there is some form of approval at the leadership level.

If they ask that question, then they make a judgement based on the answer. If you're a company making such a judgement on such a question for such a position, you're a ridiculous company.
