Everyone's obsessed with AI these days, and a lot of programmers can't even code without it anymore. So I'm wondering — how do companies ask about AI usage during interviews

Title: How Many Programmers Are Now Using AI Agents and Other Tools in Their Work?Content:
AI-powered programming is becoming increasingly popular, and I'm curious how many people have already started using AI agents in their actual work (usage level: purely for assistance, completely relay on agent). Among those already using them, how many have company support, and how many are using them...

I'm wondering if you could provide me with the name of a company that hires globally and allows employees to work remotely from anywhere. It doesn't have to be a very famous company; in fact, a smaller company would be even better.
I think it's better not to let them use ChatGPT, for kid they need to learn to think in their own way, but obviously ChatGPT will spoil it, you will always get the answer from ChatGPT, you don't need to think or do some search work, because ChatGPT will give you a answer
Maybe some of you don't actually know how bad will it be if 996 spreads, the 996 things don't only ruin your life and break the WLB but the most worse thing is it's the start of the vicious circle.
For the developer self, you have to push your self working more hours because the other co-worker are working more hours
For the company, the company will prefer who worked more hours because most of the management just simply thinks more hours represent more output
For this industry, well because a lot of developers work more hours this means normally a task you could do it in two days back in WLB instead it will be done in one day now, and this will eventually become the company needs 100 developers back days, now they only need 50 developers. and this will become the start of involution

Elon just announced the 'hardcore' on Twitter. I want to know what you think about it and what impact it will have on developers who worked in the US.
Actually, as a China developer, it's pretty familiar to us, and Huawei had something similar to this a long time ago, and Alibaba also has 996 which is almost the same thing as it.
In China a lot of companies have the same things and even...
It's a great website thanks for sharing
I'm in the same position as you, and you are better than me because I already get layoff. It seems like all the company wants talented developers to work for them and makes us feel talented developers are everywhere.
Location: China
Remote: Yes
Willing to relocate: No
Technologies: Java/Kotlin/Golang/Spring/Vert.x/Git/SQL/
Resume/CV: Please email and I will send to you
Email: algemsg{at}outlook{dot}com
Moving out is a big decision, for now, I just want a remote job
I'm so sorry to make you feel passive or aggressive, I don't mean it sincerely. Seems like my English still has a lot to learn, I admit that I'm not a talented developer, if WLB work is only provided for the talented developer in China, then I think I have met no one in my life. Thanks for your reply and advice anyway.
Yes, the timezone issue will be painful at begin, which country are you live in? Do you need a Java developer?
Not very well, China is a big market and the last thing China needs is developers, we got so many developers there, so the competition will be fierce.
Thanks for your advice, I will try for it
Yes, I have thought of you for what you have mentioned, I do want to experience different things and work with different cultures, life is so short there are a lot of things we have not seen. And thanks for telling me the LinkedIn, I already find a lot of remote jobs there, and I will try for it.
The first two-point you mentioned is what I take to consider
Why I don't find it in China? Maybe you don't know we have the 996(work from 9 am to 9 pm and six-day of a week) culture in all most every IT company in China, and I don't like it, this makes life full of work that's so bad. So the main reason I choose Europe is because at least the companies from there are not like it in China.
Why I don't find it in the US, the main problem is the timezone, there is almost 12 hours time difference between China and US, but if there is any suitable job, I'd like to apply too.
Talking about money, I lived in a small city in China, so I don't have too much pressure on money, more I wanted is work-life balance.
Thanks for your reply, Has your company ever hired Chinese developers? As you said there are some issues between China and other countries, actually the reason I left the US company has something related to it.

I'm a Java developer who lived in Asia more specifically in China, I have some remote experience with a US company, and recently I'm planning to find a remote job in Europe or Australia, I wonder if they like a developer who comes from China? What do they think about Chinese developers? And I prefer a small company instead of a big one. And do you have any advice for finding a remote job in...
We don't use any specific process, but like the people who use scrum our goal are still to make our development more smooth and efficient, the leader assign tasks through Trello, after we get our tasks we will evaluate it by ourselves, it we have any problems with this task then we will have to discuss with the PO or our leader, if there is none then we start to work on it. after we finished it we will move it to Done status the QA will test it if they got time, after QA finished the testing the PO will check it aging, if noting wrong then it will go production. I have used scrum once, I don't know if it is the scrum's problem or it's the one who use it, just don't give me a good impression.
I hate scrum, too many meaningless meeting like daily meeting, planning meeting, demo show meeting, retrospective meeting
I live in Asia, I try to find some overseas part-time work (I mean the one that working on a product with the company directly instead of something like Upwork), I wondor what the different between consulting work and full-time remote or part-time remote?
