  • I think OP is frustrated with the we’re-both-bullshitting-each-other-and-we-both-know-it thing. Even if a candidate doesn’t think they’re a good fit, they’re not going to come out and say it. And if the candidate asks a question about work culture at the company, the interviewer is going to give the best possible answer, even though it’s probably bullshit. So we all have to lie through our teeth and say things like “it’s always been my dream to work here” (even though I didn’t know the company existed a month ago) even though we all know what’s really going on.

    Being able to be honest–really, truly honest, about more than just pay expectations–is a privilege that you only get when you’re at a senior level (and sometimes not even then).












  • “Software-defined vehicles” is an industry trend. Not specific to AI (the term has been around for a decade or so). It means vehicles that are defined more by their software than by the hardware (which is how people have historically seen vehicles).

    As an example, consider your phone. They have hardware specs, but it’s often the software that defines the product more than the specs.
