How is AI augmenting software engineers? Will it replace or commoditize certain roles? Joe Lonsdale sits down with Dylan Serota, co-founder & CEO of Terminal Inc., to talk tech hiring trends & the global competition for talent.

What happens when every resume and job application is run through ChatGPT? @dserota explains why some firms are reverting to in-person interviews and tests.

How should up-and-coming developers prepare for the AI age? @dserota has a front-row seat to global hiring trends; here's his answer.

The shift sounds familiar - I had a professor at Lafayette that came out of Rensselaer and went to a civil engineering design firm behind a drafting board - he mentioned he would spent 80% of his time on calculations and the rest on actual design. With the invention and use of the simple calculator, he said the firm flipped that around to having more time spent on actual design and relatively little on calculations. It sounds as if the same shift is coming to the coding community - more time to solve problems with less time having to key in code…

broadly agree with how bad the talent matching process is however the entire world being an economic zone undermining nations seems deeply dystopian. granted marketplaces r difficult. the waste majority of the new engineer roles r more like technicians. the market for elon level engineers do xAI is pretty small and probably don’t need a platform for that. college grads r severely overlooked, the fact they r short of supply means they r really bad at assessing potential imo. i have to force our recruiting department to even give college grad’s interviews (who we produce in the hundreds of thousands per year) the idea we need to search for engineers in sri lanka bc we don’t have enough talented college grads to maintain data pipelines for AI seems incredibly dishonest
