It's hard right now. I've been interviewing some folks for a while.

I am really interested how someone can make a 100x of themselves when working. This often means "how are you using claude code", "what is your coding setup", "how do you decide if your agent is going in the right direction or not w/o looking directly at the massive amount of code generated". This is not technical, but it measures how much we would have to teach someone that comes from a non-industry background. Remember that companies have money, universities dont pay for a 200 USD Codex+Claude+Grok+Cursor per employee.

That said, I also had to ask the same stuff to folks from big techs that dont actually are software engineers. How are data scientist leveraging LLMs to automate experiments? Are they using it for something other than data viz? Are they using it for /loop exploration? how trustworthy are the agents right now for this?

Having someone with this grasp nowadays might be very very valuable IMO
