and elsewhere in these comments, we see:

I would expect candidates for programming jobs to demonstrate first class ChatGPT or other code copilot skills.

Not everyone spends their free time learning first class ChatGPT or code copilot skills.

It's interesting that this age old mantra about open source contributions being inappropriate for a hiring manager to expect because of what people do or do not do in their free time now does not apply to random other skill/experience that one must also acquire in their free time.

If a company has, for example, "git experience required" on the job posting you'll either need to actively demonstrate that you know how to use git or passively demonstrate by having a on-line accessible corpus of git-related work that shows your experience. You don't get a pass on that requirement just because the companies you've been working at don't use git and, well, you don't want to spend your free time learning git. And it is appropriate for the hiring manager to list that as a requirement despite claims that they'll be disqualifying some percentage of the candidates by including that as a requirement.
