    What I've seen people do is simply apply to companies using fake names for the same role, go through the process, learn the questions (OAs) then apply with a real account.

    I'll cheat, cause I already know how to program. Let AI do all the heavy work.

    Use AI to cheat job interview then use AI to do to job. Problem solved. 🎉

    What about when corporate America lies through their teeth to our idiot corrupt congress about the "huge shortage of software engineers", resulting in the government flooding the market with tens of millions of h1bs to the point that Americans who could do an extremely good job of doing a job, can't get the job???

    Pro tip: start cheating from now so you don't have to during the interview 😏

    I reserve my swearing for my comments to other developers

    I got that secret Google challenge that they previously used for recruiting. I used ChatGPT to come up with the solutions to all the answers (you have to make working python code). ChatGPT was able to answer all the questions, but had some difficulty at the end. The last problem you still had to know how to conceptualize it properly, so it required that understanding of what was going on so as to phrase it properly to ChatGPT. It still really struggled with it.

    are you sick, im worried

  11. @xXxKingjonxXx

    March 20, 2025 at 12:10 pm

    If developers lookup things they don't know all the time. Why is using chatgpt to answer those questions any different?

  12. @Jarrod0067

    March 20, 2025 at 12:10 pm

    I gave an interviewee one day to come up with a solution to a problem

    He came back with a verbatim copy-paste from one of these sites, except he tried to obfuscate it by running find-replace over a couple of key words

    I found out it was an exact copy because his submission had the same trailing whitespace characters

    My boss at the time still hired him. Worst mistake ever

  13. @bobby9568

    March 20, 2025 at 12:10 pm

    Defamation isn't allowed though… blacklisting is a myth (aside from that specific company you've applied to).

  14. @eyesopen6110

    March 20, 2025 at 12:10 pm

    They all cheat these days. Especially on interviews.

  15. @aang__fire_air_water_earth

    March 20, 2025 at 12:10 pm

    Cheating is NOT wrong,
    Getting caught is.

  16. @AkshayKumar-vd5wn

    March 20, 2025 at 12:10 pm

    I dont not understand the logic. Everyone uses AI for coding so why is it a bad thing?

  17. @koliux1

    March 20, 2025 at 12:10 pm

    "Great video! It really underscores the complexity of technical interviews and the potential for misuse. While some may consider 'leaked questions' as learning, I believe a more effective and ethical method would be to prepare thoroughly. For anyone struggling, my AI interview coaching app "Baited" might be a useful tool. It offers guidance and aids in optimizing algorithms, without any hints of cheating. Keep up the great content!"

  18. @samahirrao

    3:56 man that was harsh.

  19. @mezykin

    please tell me daily dev isn't another Honey-like browser extension that's stealing your affiliate link revenue 😔😔

  20. @troybird8253

    March 20, 2025 at 12:10 pm

    I would have used electromagnetic waves conspiracy instead of a medical one because its widely used compared to EQ readings from sensor data. (even though its the same.)

  21. @JaePlay

    March 20, 2025 at 12:10 pm

    Immediately thought of the "what the fuck?" in the legendary fast inverse sqrt approximation code from Quake 3

  22. @faulkbl

    March 20, 2025 at 12:10 pm

    The "leaked Questions" is not "cheating" it is learning what they are asking for

  23. @_RideTheTrip

    March 20, 2025 at 12:10 pm

    Ok, let's do interviews without a computer or the internet and write code on a piece of paper.

  24. @bigsluggy

    00:52 – Mike Tyson bit his ear off because his opponent had been fighting dirty, not to cheat.

  25. @GooseTechMedia

    March 20, 2025 at 12:10 pm

    I think the unfair nature of coding interviews is because the software development industry is too saturated. So you need some arbitrary way of cutting down the number of applicants. You can complain about people being lazy or not being willing to take the time to assess the interviewers potential on a deeper level; but it simply wouldn't be feasible to spend that much time assessing each candidate.

  26. @barneyyoungjr5988

    March 20, 2025 at 12:10 pm

    10% is too low

  27. @kayboy6055

    March 20, 2025 at 12:10 pm

    I feel like the biggest problem is poor people wanting to compete for more money instead of knowing what's actually at stake.
    Even in the comments the problem is less about finding solutions to man made problems like optimizing algorithms, but there'll be some make-believe gate keeper trying to attach random things to the point of AI as a solution to technical problems.
    Even if you used AI to produce a solution, the solution was always to produce at a lower costs. I don't get why people think this about winners or losers, youre all losers.

  28. @mellywood

    March 20, 2025 at 12:10 pm

    Programmers may be really smart in some aspects but their common sense is still the one of bullied nerds. Yes, the job may be easy in comparison to the interview, but it may not be at times and reputation is too a great quality, they can easily replace you, so give them a reason to not do by being hundred times better than the actual job

  29. @sadiqhussain9202

    March 20, 2025 at 12:10 pm

    I actually did that FIzzBuzz question recently lol

  30. @ArbitraryZer0101

    March 20, 2025 at 12:10 pm

    I cheated in my degree to score a 2:1. Without this I wouldn't get into a "graduate" scheme even though such scheme , a degree has fuck all usefulness. 8 years later, lead dev fully remote.

    I'm glad I cheated.

  31. @tbg6nb

    March 20, 2025 at 12:10 pm

    A serious recruiter is interested in the thoughtful process that leads to the final result, not in the solution itself. So if he does not try to find out if the candidate knows what he is doing, than it is his own fault, not the one of a candidate. At the end, when we implement the actual features at work, we use StackOverflow etc. so we don't reinvent the wheel in our jobs anyway.

  32. @ColdPotato

    March 20, 2025 at 12:10 pm

    I caught someone using AI on a phone interview. They were too lazy to rename their variables. So I entered the questions in GPT and got the exact same thing. She didn't get the job….

  33. @narcoblings4728

    Who needs to cheat when your hiring manager is from the same small town you are back in the home countt

    Meta with their 2 medium LC questions per round be like. LC interviews are absolutely stupid.

  37. @AkianYt

    March 20, 2025 at 12:10 pm

    Actually there are softwares to cheat in the 1-1 technical interview. Solutions like interview solver allows you to have an AI transcripting the conversation, taking screenshots of the problem and helping you to code without being detected by screen sharing.

    loved the silicon valley reference

  41. @manabukun

    March 20, 2025 at 12:10 pm

    I have always used something like a gradual deep dive to ask questions about something the candidate has worked on or claims to have good expertise in. e.g. Start with what the product was doing and then keep getting deeper to components, classes, functions, optimizations, libraries, and then the algorithms used by libraries and their minutiae if it is warranted, like say they encountered a particularly nasty bug in a library – I want to know how they found it and how they fixed it or defensively patched it or whatever, and then the algorithmic complexity involved in such real contexts. I mostly do not want to know if they can solve random publicly available code puzzles.
