we’ve been building saffron for exactly this. candidates get a real codebase, ai tools of their choice, and a timed build. we score the full session automatically so any team can run what sierra just described, not just the companies with sierra-sized engineering budgets trysaffron.ai

here’s the thing almost everyone will miss about this post. sierra has the eng. bandwidth to run custom onsites, write rubrics, calibrate across interviewers, pair reviewers for consistency. most companies don’t. most companies will read this, nod, and change nothing.

So Sierra rebuilt their onsite: - 2 hour build session with AI tools of their choice - Candidate defines scope, pivots when stuck, ships something real - Reviewers debate the product flows and technical judgement Sounds familiar? It should. It’s how actual engineering works now

their argument is simple: interviews have been testing mechanics (syntax, algorithms, etc.). That signal used to matter. In the age of Codex and Claude Code, it doesn’t. The real skills are scope, tradeoffs, judgement, and shipping. Why don’t interviews test those?

People ask if we're crazy for betting on college dropouts. One of those bets just got acquired by @DoorDash for the best IRR in our fund history. Metis 🔥 Aryan started as a campus scout, that's how we first met him. We backed him as one of our first college dropout founders, very early stage. Marcus and Aayush built alongside him. Stories like theirs are exactly why we started FIR U. 𝐅𝐈𝐑 𝐔 𝐢𝐬 𝐀𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐞'𝐬 2-𝐦𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐡 𝐟𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐠𝐫𝐚𝐦 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐬𝐭𝐮𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬, 𝐝𝐫𝐨𝐩𝐨𝐮𝐭𝐬, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐠𝐫𝐚𝐝𝐬. 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐠𝐞𝐭: investment, 2 months in San Francisco, office space and 1:1 mentorship, sales, product, and fundraising support, and an investor showcase in front of 200+ VC firms. You don't need a co-founder. You don't need to drop out. You just need to be ready to build. Apply now: afore.vc/students Can't wait to see you in the office!

swes hired in the last 6 months can't code. they can get ai to produce something that looks right. but the moment something breaks (spoiler: it always breaks) they're stuck. the coding interview is now a test of how well you prompt claude, not how well you understand software. nobody has figured out what to replace it with yet.

Think I may have been top 10 oldest people in this room somehow. Since when are 15-year-olds working at Jane Street?
