We're finally seeing that all of the answers to our company's top-of-the-funnel coding screen are nearly identical. It's fine that people are using LLMs, but it's clear that the value of our current screening questions are diminished. Once you have a small pool of candidates, you can interview them in person, ask questions that deal with ambiguity, etc. There are many opportunities to deconvolve the human from the AI.

But, what techniques are people using for automated screening to evaluate technical/programming skills?

I'm starting a new job in a few days as a senior PM at a ~1000 person company, but I've never been a PM before. My career path has been: PhD -> Engineer -> Founder.

My time as a founder has given me some unique perspective on products in my space, but I'm less experienced with the day-to-day of a PM in a medium sized company. My exposure has been second hand watching the PMs while I was an engineer. Any advice on how to help ensure things kick off well?

GenAI, like most technological changes, comes with a mixture of hype and genuine improvements in productivity. I'm curious what tools people have been using in their day-to-day that have benefitted them. I'm happy to hear about use cases of generalist tools like Perplexity (https://www.perplexity.ai/), but am more interested in genetics specific tools, like VarChat (https://varchat.engenome.com/).
