Nobody is hiring vibe coders.
summary
Timeline runs from 2023 ChatGPT through 2024 layoffs to the Opus 4.5 winter surge and a claim that AI now writes most code at some frontier shops. About 14–16 interviews happened, 11 went deep; two used four Sudoku boards; Coderpad reports technical interviews up 48% since 2023. Companies shift toward pair programming, real-world debugging and take-home with AI allowed but require extending work live and sharing prompt history, so fundamentals plus AI fluency actually decide hiring.
