More code is not the whole scorecard.

Jason looks at commits, finished features and post-release issues. In the full interview, he stresses that numbers are only one input.

What worries you about AI agents outside a sandbox?

A question about agents and security leads into Jason's background. This clip raises a concern; it does not demonstrate an escape.

Jason lets candidates use AI in interviews. Copying the answer isn’t enough: he asks them to challenge it, iterate and check the result.

Would you allow AI in your hiring process?

When did AI become useful to you?

Jason remembers the shift from a funny chatbot to scripts and tasks he'd put off. Useful did not yet feel revolutionary.

Two jobs, predictable results: does exclusivity matter?

Jason shares his view on outside work and delivery. One CTO's management position, not a rule for every workplace.

Before the next prompt, make the problem smaller.

Jason explains why breaking big tasks into smaller pieces matters even more with AI. What would you split first?

Built with AI in five days. Could the team maintain it?

Jason describes a working implementation and team architecture review, not a system hardened for millions of customers.

What leaves your team when you send a prompt?

Jason describes a privacy gateway for remote AI models. It aims to reduce exposure; this is not proof that leaks are impossible.

Would you let a candidate use AI in an interview?

We ask CTO Jason how he evaluates the way candidates work with it. What would you ask next?

If your best AI model disappeared, could you still build?

Jason argues that engineering discipline, patience and creative use of tools still matter.

Three months to adopt AI. A workshop wasn't enough.

Jason describes continued mentoring. After the initial three months, nobody had been fired. Adoption was only the starting point.
