Show HN: Practice for the new AI-assisted coding interview format

how many of the "fixes" were to code that wasn't broken? The prompt tells the model there are bugs, and these models are eager to please, so I'd expect plenty of confident edits to working code. The original test suite only catches the ones that break something. Precision next to recall would make the leaderboard a lot more useful.

personally, I'm tired of reading 30+ pages long docs with core findings spread across the doc and fit in 1-2 pages. many engineers produce tons of material now, and I spend quite some effort (with AI of course) to make this content make sense

Started as engineer, converted to manager, and now I'm back to engineer. AI brought me some joy back of "engineering". I feel it is way more easier now to scale yourself, essentially everyone acts a manager now.
Re:Ask HN: What's a good title for a software engineer now?

Software engineer. Put the AI stuff in the bullet points. Nobody has ever been hired for a title.
