The sad thing is everyone will follow this interview practice like they did before with other ridiculous questions

I find it bizarre that people can be bothered to write code by hand any more.

It's still quite necessary for everything beyond junior grade code.

Which, for PMs trying to test MVPs and write deep specifications, is exactly what you need.

I certainly can be bothered, because it’s great fun. But when Claude Code can do the same thing 20% faster, I’m a fool for not applying that.

The trick is: when.

Not always.

And hardly at all in “yolo mode”.

It's nice if you enjoy coding, I agree. I don't enjoy it, so I just have Claude do everything. I have to review all the code it writes, of course, or at the very least the function signatures and general architecture, but I can't be arsed looking up API/library docs myself ever again.

My current employer is actually getting ready to do required vibe coding training. Probably not a good time to be a tech company shareholder tbh.

depends on which tech company

If you are the backbone of any major LLM it is.
