Reddit post on cscareerquestions: 
We hired 1 intern out of 10K applicants
I work for a prominent growing AI startup that most people have heard of. I need to share something that blew my mind from our recent internship hiring round. Our goal was to hire 5 AI engineering and data science interns for the summer.

We got freaking 10,000 applications for our summer internship program. TEN THOUSAND. After screening all that mess (using some AI tool I admit to sort / filter) we narrowed it down to around 200 people who seemed qualified enough for take-home coding challenges.

Want to know the crazy part? Out of those 200 challenges, barely 10 people made it to the final interview round. And we ended up making just ONE offer when we wanted to hire 5 people.

What was the dealbreaker? Almost nobody could explain their own damn code when we asked them about it. Like 99% of these candidates just vibe coded their way through the take-home challenge (let's be real - they used AI) without understanding what the hell they were submitting. I literally asked one candidate why they used a certain Python package and they had no idea what it did.

On the on-site, we had to reject 9/10 candidates. Most of them when they got to the onsite just couldn't pass the bar.

Part of the reason why we hired the one candidate that passed was because he showed some honesty. A few people in the hiring panel said that the candidate admitted that he had seen one or two of the questions on LeetCode / Interview Query. So they apparently asked him a different question and he was thoughtful about explaining the solution even though he missed getting one of them 100% right.

So here's my PSA to anyone applying for tech jobs: Use AI all you want, but make sure you actually understand the code you're submitting. If you can't explain your approach or debug issues without AI holding your hand, you're gonna crash and burn in any decent technical interview.

Trump administration says it is not required to help wrongly deported man return to US U.S. officials said in court filings on Sunday that they were not obligated to help a Maryland resident get out of prison in El Salvador after he was erroneously deported, despite a Supreme Court ruling directing the government to "facilitate" his return to the United States.

Future historians will try to pinpoint the point of no return of this era and this will be one of the top candidates.

🚨The Trump admin is completely ignoring the courts. It's rounding people up in the streets. It's saying "homegrowns" next.

‘Betrayal’: Lurie’s rezoning riles some west side supporters Mayor Daniel Lurie won because of west side voters. His support for a YIMBY-backed housing plan is pissing off those same constituents.

Mayor Lurie absolutely did the right thing with these zoning changes to the west side of the city. Eventually people there too will appreciate, as they will the Great Highway and JFK drive closures. sfstandard.com/2025/04/04/d...
