I saw the HackerRank (YC S11) hiring post (https://ift.tt/hDOq8SG) and it made me realize I no longer understand how to evaluate candidates effectively. Specifically, we are changing hiring across 3 dimensions: > Tasks: Real-world tasks on code repositories vs standard algorithmic-style puzzles > Evaluation: AI fluency, orchestration skills vs functional correctness > Candidate experience: Agentic IDE vs a simple code editor In the “old world,” you could ask multiple questions and triangulate skill from answers.

Ask HN: What are you building that's not AI related? 3 by meander_water | 0 comments on Hacker News. I don't have anything against AI, but HN (and everywhere else) seems to be drowning in AI atm. Seems like every man and his dog is building an AI agent harness. And power to you (and your dog) if that's you. But it would be refreshing to hear about some non AI related projects people are working on.
