What up, nerds? I'm Jared, and this is ChangeLog News for the week of Monday, February 24th, 2025. My fellow Severance fans must know that Apple TV has published eight hours of music for us to refine to. They call the Odessa set perfect for your innie's workday. Okay, let's get into this week's news. AI killed the tech interview. Now what?

Kane Narraway thinks through the radical change AI tools have brought to the already fraught technical interview process. He says hacker rank is pretty much broken, comp, sci fundamentals, and coding interviews are also out, but architectural interviews still work, at least for now. Quote, from talking to people who have run these, it's evident when someone is using AI.

They often stop with long pauses, do not quite explain things succinctly, and do not understand the questions well enough to prompt the correct answer. As AI gets better and faster, this will likely follow the same fate as the rest, but I would give it some years yet. End quote. Kane suggests five options of how we can adapt, some of which are better than others. One, stop remote tech interviews.

Two, require some Pearson Vue-type spyware. Three, bury our heads in the sand. Four, change our interviews to allow AI. And five, a hybrid approach. Something's gotta give. In the meantime, Kane thinks we'll see more people passing their interviews than being let go during their probation period. That sucks for everybody involved. What are you doing and seeing in this space?

Let us know in the comments. I'd love to hear about it. An app to lock your apps until you touch grass. Reese Kentish wanted to change the habit of reaching for his phone in the morning and doom scrolling away for an hour. So he built an app to help him do just that. It's built in SwiftUI and uses the Screen Time APIs provided by Apple, plus Google Vision to recognize grass or not.

Cool idea, but tough to manage for anybody living in deserts or tundras. Maybe he should add an in-app purchase to change touch grass to touch snow, touch dirt, or touch sand. It's now time for sponsored news. Play with Retool's Guided Tour. Now you can play with Retool, no account required, and you get a guided tour.

Retool recently launched a guided tour, so you can see how easy it is to build internal tools based on data in their managed PostgreSQL database service, which they call Retool Database. The tour walks you through building an orders UI and connecting that interface to a real database with real data. complete with real-time search.

You'll get to see how simple they've made it to build tooling without any front-enders needed, allowing them to focus on customer-facing things. If you haven't yet, now's a good time to play with Retool's guided tour to see how simple it is to build apps on top of their managed Postgres database or your own database.

Microsoft's Majorana One chip. Microsoft tried really hard to make a big splash last week announcing their quantum computing efforts. Quote, quantum computers promise to transform science and society, but only after they achieve the scale that once seemed distant and elusive. And their reliability is ensured by quantum error correction.
