Prompt + AI Code + Human Thinking > Prompt + AI Code

Encourage juniors to use AI tools. It’s how the industry is evolving. Let them explore, but don’t stop at the surface.

🔍 Observe what bugs they can identify in AI-generated code and how they fix them. That tells you a lot about their problem-solving ability.

⚙️ Audit how they think about design and scalability. Can they spot limitations in AI output? Are they making informed architectural decisions?

🧠 The difference between a learning mindset and a copy-paste mindset becomes obvious over time. AI can accelerate growth, but only if developers take time to understand why things work.

🎯 Also, interview patterns must evolve to reflect this new ecosystem. We shouldn’t penalize devs for using modern tools—we should assess how they use them critically and creatively.

Let AI be a catalyst, not a crutch.

Keep Thinking!!!
