In this segment, the speaker explains the company’s approach to take‑home coding assessments: candidates are permitted to use any AI tools they wish. Rather than prohibiting AI, the guidance encourages candidates to pick an interesting piece of the problem, build a simple working demo, and add a meaningful improvement rather than merely reproducing an existing solution. The evaluation focus has shifted from testing raw coding ability to assessing whether candidates can effectively direct AI, verify its output, and ensure the resulting code is correct and appropriate.

We try and give them a take-home and we just allow everything. We don't tell them, don't use AI. Pick a part of textual that interests you and then try to make your own demo, like simple version. Don't just recreate it, but also make some cool improvement that makes everything much more interesting than that improvement that they made over a solution that we assumed was just like 100% cloud-coded. Ultimately, we feel like with coding, the intelligence has stopped being, can you write the code, to can you direct it and can you check its work and are you doing the right thing?
