    …and 5 min in chatgpt. Only you spend 3 days making it work because you never understood coding in the first place.

    • And honestly, even if you do understand coding, you’ll probably spend more time testing the code than it would’ve taken to write and test it yourself.

      We had an applicant use AI in an interview, and they made the same mistake twice in 5 minutes, because that’s the code the model spat out. This was someone with several years of experience (I think they even ran a team for a couple years), so they certainly understood coding, they just trusted their tools too much. We even gave them a softball question, “How confident are you that your code is correct? What would you need to feel more confident?,” and their answer was, “I’m 100% confident that it’s correct” when they should have answered, “I’d need to write some unit tests.”
