The Junior Hiring Crisis

Yeah, I was told I'd get less of this as I got real experience. More additions to the pile of lies and misconceptions.

If you need to fizzbuzz me, fine. But why am I still making word search solver project in my free time as if I'm applying for a college internship?

I’ve started using ChatGPT for their take home projects, with only minor edits or refactors myself. If they’re upset I saved a couple hours of tedium, they’re the wrong employer for me.

And I’m being an accelerationist hoping the whole thing collapses under its own ridiculousness.

Also they explicitly say to not use AI assistance for such assignments.

Recruitment is broken even more than before chatgpt.
