I tell everyone to share their entire screen, have their video on, and start coding. It's not that different. Even as an interviewer, I experimented with the usual cheating techniques so I know what to look out for. The best are the AI teleprompters. If you can do the work with your own AI then I see no need to care as the business will not care either.
The story is completely different for airgapped dark room jobs, but if you know you know.
I'm curious what you mean by this as someone who has worked in a SCIF for years. What I've found (and I personally benefited from this) is that interviews are far more forgiving for people who have security clearances, because of the comparatively tiny available talent pool. AWS, Azure etc allow people to join as "SRE" (a bastardized term at this point) or "Cloud Engineer" and later switch to SWE pretty easily.
if your interviews are easily cheatable you should probably fix the interviews. back in the day when i was in university we were allowed to use any resources for exams cause you couldnt cheat easily.
I have my dual 4K Dells for day to day work but I unplug one and scale it to something reasonable for interviews because having consideration is part of the signal that I'm sending (and empathy, because I hate trying to read purple text on a black background myself when trying to view other people's setups)
Nah, I have a triple monitor setup. I'll share my primary screen and work on it. If they can't trust me enough to do that, then we're already on a tumultuous relationship.
Not like I'd do anything. I use one screen to work, one for video, and one for work visuals. Seeing one screen would show if I had any hidden windows anyway.
