Prior to ChatGPT coming out, I gave a take home test to sort roman numerals.

What before was a "here's a take home that you can do in an hour and I can check the 'did you write the code reasonably?'" is now a 30 seconds in ChatGPT with comments embedded in it that would make an "explain how this function works" to be less useful. https://chatgpt.com/share/688cd543-e9f0-8011-bb79-bd7ac73b3f...

When next there's an interview for a programmer, strongly suggest that it be in person with a whiteboard instead to mitigate the risks of North Korean IT workers and developers who are reliant on an LLM for each task.
