This is indeed during interviews (question updated) Thanks! I assume the 1-hour coding session is done live. From your experience, do candidates seem comfortable using AI tools as naturally as they would on their own?

Excellent point. How do you evaluate a developer’s ability to learn and integrate new tools (like AI assistants) into their workflow?
