You have that you’re the founder of an AI company in your hacker news profile, and your take home looks completely vibe coded. Why in the world are you surprised that a hiring manager is a little suspicious about your coding skills?

Given what you’ve said in your other comments, it seems like you used AI in a way that I wouldn’t have a problem with but just briefly looking through I can see how it would look suspicious.

That's all well and good. Totally ask me about AI, I can talk a lot about it. Don't however, make me go through 99% of the interview process up until the very last stage (spanning weeks), and throw a live test in my face, and then have the hiring manager clarify that it's about "vibe coding paranoia". It negates the entire reason I did the take-home assignment.
