Socsa ,

You can tell this is fake because the code interview actually tests basic knowledge instead of giving you 13 minutes to create a templated polymorphic class which accepts arbitrary flatbuffer arguments and implements factory pattern constructors written in Haskell, with the end goal of recursively sorting nanoparticles by bond strength. Intro level position, $8/hr, must supply your own MacBook.

Ewwwww, macbook. Oh, wait. It was sarcasm I guess.

"Introductions and a bit of smalltalk" - I would shit myself if an interviewer started asking about smalltalk... /s

rtxn ,

The fuck kind of programming language is "smalltalk"?

naught ,

It inspired python's syntax iirc

9point6 ,

It was an old object oriented language before Java. I think Apple made a lot of use of it?

I knew this tickled something

This makes me feel bad for the candidates but gave me the confidence boost I need right now

But they are the same thing.

I feel fortunate that the image is fried and I can't read it.

AMDIsOurLord ,

If your client has an HD picture button (like Boost) you need to click it to actually receive the proper image

Daxtron2 ,

These are the "developers" that will be replaced by AI lol

SomeBoyo ,

Are remote interviews still viable in the days of gpt?

lurch ,

in the company, i'm employed in, yes. it allows to hire people far off for remote work.

OsrsNeedsF2P ,

The last interviews I wrote the job posting for and conducted, I made it clear we give you a GPT4 subscription for the job so I expect you to demonstrate your ability to use it as a tool during the interview

bamboo ,

Clearly yes, as this post outlines, these candidates weren't smart enough to use ChatGPT

great and hilarious post, but isn't this programming_horror instead of a linuxmemes

TowardsTheFuture ,

As someone who teachers high school freshmen computer science this pains me as most of my freshmen could do all of these.

This is a little different than the in person "draw me a solution on the whiteboard" approach
