I’m finding that standard coding assessments don't tell me if a candidate can actually architect a system. How are you, as a recruiter, vetting 'AI-native' developers differently than traditional full-stack engineers?

This is such a real problem. I’ve seen brilliant system thinkers struggle with Leetcode-style questions while excelling in architecture whiteboards. How are you adjusting vetting methods for folks with unconventional resumes or project-based experience?

System design sessions! I've found that choosing the right visual collaboration tool and preparing scenarios to go through with the candidate help a lot. That's usually a different part of the tech interview compared to the coding assessment. I find it also more difficult to fake as you need to talk through it and evaluate trade-offs, possibly with real life examples or experiences that support your take.

I look beyond the code. For AI-native roles, we focus on problem framing, data thinking, and how they handle trade-offs in models and systems. Architecture discussions, past project walk-throughs, and scenario-based questions tell us more than standard assessments ever could.

Going through a closeout. 50-50 profit share allocation, but my business partner has been using the venture money at their personal piggy bank (hence the breakup). My accountants say because we agreed to 50-50 shares, the leftover money has to be divided equally.

They spent $100k in the last month on random "work stuff" but bought a new car, etc. Now I have to pay for it with less equity return!

Just wanted to rant, I'll probably never go into a partnership again.

If I went on active duty orders, can I use those orders to break my lease early without penalty?
