We've created Cursor for hiring


I interviewed at xAI, 3 of my 4 interviews were leet coding no AI allowed. No check whatsoever of my ability to use AI as an engineer. Compare with Replit where I’ve just been contracting - they’re creating new kinds of interviews where candidates get access to Claude code and the internal AI sandbox.


In a world where anyone can generate 1,000 words in 10 seconds — the ability to craft words that actually mean something is not just a skill. It's a superpower. Let me be satisfyingly clear. We're not looking for writers. We're looking for thinkers who write. Here's the truth most people won't tell you: Content is abundant. Taste is scarce. We need someone who understands AI, lives in tech, and has a point of view that can't be replicated by a model. Part-time. Flexible. Remote. No resume. No cover letter. No "passion for synergy." Just drop your Substack, blog, or wherever you write. That's it. That's the application. Because the best writers don't need to explain why they're good — their work does it for them. And yes — this post was intentionally written like AI. If that bothered you, you might be exactly who we're looking for.
