Google. StackOverflow. ChatGPT/Claude et al. Those are all tools. Tools of the craft, so a professional candidate should be using it proficiently.

How good one is in understanding a problem (the scope and source), and how good are they at designing a solution that is simple, yet will tackle other "upcoming" problems (configurable vs hard coded, etc).

This is what one should care about.
