Henry Kirk, co-founder of Studio Init, has noticed an alarming trend during technical coding interviews; candidates are using generative AI to cheat, which undermines the integrity of the screening process. Although Kirk appreciates the value of AI in engineering tasks, he feels that traditional coding tests are becoming ineffective due to AI’s capability to mimic junior engineers. This has raised concerns about how to effectively distinguish between genuine talent and those relying on tools to pass assessments, especially amid a booming applicant pool.
Henry Kirk emphasizes the frustration with candidates cheating during coding tests, noting that many relied on AI tools instead of demonstrating their skills.
The rise of generative AI poses significant challenges for traditional coding assessments, leading to questions about their effectiveness in evaluating developers.
