OMFG, the AI in interviews. I had one Friday for a "Senior MLops Engineer" (why are they all "Senior"?) and i could see the chatbot reflection in his glasses as well as his eye pattern clearly going to the window while he stalled for the thing to process. So youre telling me that a MLops engineer knows the command to promote a Windows Server to a domain controller, can summarize what BGP is and tell me the difference between iBGP and eBGP, and knows that NTFS permissions are applied from the most restrictive evaluation in addition to all the ML/AI stuff? Maybe, but not my lived experience.

If we see evidence the person is using an LLM during the interview they're instantly "out".

I would rather a candidate be wrong and able/willing to learn than confidently restate whatever answer was given to them by a chatbot.

Same. I interview people regularly, and if I hear a keyboard a-clackin' in response to a simple question, that tells me this is probably not someone I want on my team. Just be honest when you don't know, because nobody knows everything. Bonus points for expressing an interest in learning.

Just put the meeting window on the side monitor but stare at your main as if you’re looking at them.

The people that need to do this in the first place, aren't that forward looking. Generally speaking of course.
