Hackerrank was broken - but now it's actually harmful — segfaulte

Since everyone started using AI, more candidates started clearing the first round with flying colors. The platforms had to recalibrate to let in their target percentage. But they're not measuring the code written by the candidate anymore—they're measuring how well the candidate uses an LLM. Most developers who can actually write this code try to do it themselves. They get marked lower than peers who used AI and completed it faster. The result? Hiring teams keep raising the bar arbitrarily, trying to find the candidates who are best at prompt engineering their way through a coding test.
