How do we evaluate and hire junior developers when AI can write all the code?
The traditional coding interview (e.g., LeetCode, reversing a binary tree on a whiteboard) is officially dead. AI can generate perfect solutions to these algorithms instantly. If you are hiring developers based on their ability to write raw syntax, you are hiring for a depreciating asset.
The 4 Dimensions of Engineering Judgment
In the "Vibe Coding" era, the scarce skill is no longer generation; it is Verification. You must shift your hiring process from evaluating syntax generation to evaluating engineering judgment. This is done through the "Audit Interview."

The Remediation Strategy
During interviews, provide the candidate with a complex, subtly flawed piece of AI-generated code. Ask them to audit it. Do not ask them to write new code. If they cannot explain why the AI's logic will fail under concurrent load, do not hire them. You are hiring Systems Governors, not typists.
