I've been interviewing software engineers for many years, and this was the first year the "AI natives" started graduating and applying for jobs.
Never had such a high rate of people completely unable to write one line of code in a language that appears on their CV, it's been about 50% in the last few months where I had to end the interview during the warmup question.
