AI Has Ruined the Job Market

I'm applying to jobs, and the amount of AI assessments, rounds, AI interviewers, questionnaires, is nuts.

Yep. Actually ran the rollout for Cursor at my last job, right before I got laid off lmao. I trained a bunch of devs on what do and what not to do. A bunch of my recent interviews have incorporated variations of the question "Do you think you could manage an LLM orchestration that would replace our junior devs?" and, I could but I don't think I can muster the enthusiasm for it that people are looking for. Maybe that's why I haven't made it through the interview gauntlet. So much senior hiring right now seems to be looking for people to be the scapegoat for LLM bullshit and I ain't looking for that kinda work.
