Just Cheat! (an anti-guide to cheating on interviews with AI)

About this episode

Brian Jenney discusses the implications of cheating in AI engineering interviews and why candidates should reconsider it.

A few spots left for Parsity's AI Engineer Cohort. Apply here I told candidates they could use Claude, Cursor, anything they wanted in their AI engineering interview. Half of them still cheated. Badly. I break down what cheating looked like and why you should re-consider it if you're thinking about it... even if you don't have any moral qualms against it 😅
