This is why I keep thinking about AI in Software Engineering Interviews.

I got lucky. I found a new job I’m excited about. But most of us don’t have the luxury to write off potential employers just because they’re not on the bleeding edge of AI. Many of us are struggling just to get a response, let alone an interview—don’t get me started on companies excluding candidates on educational visas. It sucks right now.
