Are we hiring developers who can build, or developers who can prompt?

The article discusses how AI-powered tools have made it easier for developers to build software, but may have also changed the way we evaluate developers. The author notes that many fresh graduates struggle to explain their own projects, suggesting that we need to shift our focus from project demos to evaluating understanding of fundamentals, problem-solving approach, and ability to explain decisions. This requires hiring managers to rethink their evaluation process and prioritize skills such as debugging and ownership of work. The article encourages readers to share their own experiences and approaches to evaluating developers in the AI era.
