The Ledger, every show

“I actually think you're going to see a proliferation of developers. I think you're going to see Way more developers in, in the future. I think the job role will change for sure. I think it's not going to stay the same, but I think you're going to see way more.”

“I predict that you're going to see a very different chart on both the slope of the hiring curve, as well as the demographic of the type of hires in the next Six-ish months.”

“Are companies sending assessments to junior versus senior? How many people they are interviewing? It's grown about 20 to 25% year over year relative to all of the other, other news, news items that you see on social media, where it's like, hey, declining, ever…”

“The AI native or AI forward companies are the least AI forward when it comes to interviewing at high end process.”

“I actually think the more AI becomes powerful, the more valuable human craft and other elements are going to become because people are going to easily determine, oh, this is all done by AI. I'm just going to attribute a lower value.”

“And now where do we see companies Going is towards evaluating them on real-world tasks on code repositories. That's where, like, the world is going.”

“We also think the next evolution is going to be beyond code repositories because again, As much as IDE and AI system and code repository is like the home for developers, that's not the only place that they work in. It's always like the prod is down. Okay. So y…”

“Chegg is the biggest offender, but I love Chegg as a company and things, I know they're going through hard times, but rooting for them. I hope they come back. Oh no. But Chegg is like right up there. There are other forums, StudyX. It doesn't really leak. We …”

“We have trained our own plagiarism model, which can detect whether you're using an external tool to write code or not with about, like, 85 to 90% precision.”

“If you just extrapolate the trend line, I think this will be two and four or three and four developers will learn to code before they drive in the next decade or so.”

“The one thing that the startups or the execs cared about the most, because at least in a startup, you may be, you might have a recruiter or not, but most likely you're doing the recruiting on your own. They care more about your contributions or your open sourc…”

“And also one of the things that was present in the survey was how you wanted to dive in deeper on the knowledge of that particular stack, at least for a startup because of course you have very low or pretty much no bandwidth to train somebody on the new stack …”

“And one of the things that we learned was how work-life balance Beats all of the different perks that people offer, whether that's free food or we have a ping-pong tournament every week or things along those lines.”

“Even though you had a CS degree, a lot of developers said they actually learned a lot from YouTube over books or sites like HackerRank.”

“I think the future would be an ability for you to build out engineering teams wherever you want, and not just restrict yourself to the Bay Area, and a good common connective tissue that makes sure that things don't break because of bad communication or because…”

“I still think the proxy of your GPAs and companies exist at a lot of companies.”

“If you zoom in a little bit, you would actually find the twenty-twenty-five job index is flattening relative to twenty-twenty-four, so the decline has stopped, but it's nowhere close to the peak, nowhere close to twenty-twenty-one, not even, like, close to twe…”

“Actually we were the first Indian based company to get into Y Combinator.”

“We have a developer community that's over I think it's 3.4 million as of as of last week. That's slightly over 10% of the world's developer population who come to HackerRank to solve challenges, to practice their skills and get better.”

“One in every four developers learn to code before they learn to drive.”

“We had applied to YCombinator with this idea. Of course, we got turned down.”

“That actually took off a bit, but then after three months or so, the traffic was down to zero. Turns out you can only apply twice a year. So we didn't know what to do for the rest of the year. We actually applied to YC even with this idea. We got turned down.”

“Yeah, so we're, maybe it's about 26 to 28% in North America. About forty-ish percent plus in Asia, Asia Pacific. And then you're talking about 15 to 20% in the UK, and the remaining is the rest of the world.”
