MTS(@MTSlive):OpenAI's @cdngdev explains why grinding LeetCode and building an impressive resume might be the wrong way to get hired in the AI era: "We had around 15,000 people apply to attend last year. I've seen a lot of resumes, and so few people just have a personal website where you're showing off your work." "There's a lot of people that go down this traditional path of focusing on research, getting really good at LeetCode, which I think is less so now that the models are really good at doing these things." "The way you get hired is just by building cool things and talking about it and showing other people what you've built. Even if it is to no one, which it was to no one for the majority of my life."
