Interesting, care to elaborate? Or this is a carefully guarded secret?

Not sharing what our coding questions are, but we also allow LLMs now. Interviewees choice to do so.

In quite a few interviews in the last year I have come away convinced that they would have performed far better if they had relied on their own knowledge/experience exclusively. Fumbling with windows/tabs, not quite reading what they are copying, if I ask why they chose something, some of them would fold immediately and opt for something way better or more sensible, implying they would have known what to do had they bothered to actually think for a moment.

I put down "no hire" for all of them of course.
