#### Hiring in the age of LLMs

The rise of large language models in recent years is having a big impact on our everyday lives as developers - and that includes the hiring process. In this talk we will explore what are the qualities that are (or should) be looked for in a candidate today, and we can test and demonstrate them.

#### AI Close Encounters of the Third Kind

"AI can write code for you" has become a ubiquitous claim in today's tech landscape. But how does this promise hold up in practice?
This presentation examines real-world encounters with AI chatbots in coding scenarios, exploring curious phenomena including emojis, flattery, SOOP, and other surprising, sometimes amusing, patterns in AI-generated code. Drawing from these practical encounters, I'll present key findings about the current state of AI-assisted programming and what these interactions reveal about both the capabilities and quirks of today's coding AI systems.
