Even harder with AI.

How do you assess developers when AI makes it possible to create software without even knowing the language?



Give an abstract requirement and access to your AI tool. Ask the candidate to create a working solution and review the AI generated code. requirement analysis and code review are now the primary skills for developers.


Interesting.

I don’t think code review of AI is important at all - specially given the developer might not even know the language, in which case it’s irrelevant.

I think ability to build checking, verification, linting, testing and cross LLM code review mechanisms is important, which ensure that fast changing or unpredictably changing ai code has consistent behavior and is security checked.
