NEW FEATURE 🎬🧡

New in Hellyeah: video ad support for Performance Max campaigns.

We’re expanding the creative formats you can work with in PMax—and this release brings video into the mix.

Also shipped: a little polish where your team leaves feedback. Author comments now have improved Markdown styling, making formatted notes easier to scan and follow.

Built with the people who keep shipping: @Doudoujay @dralaska_ @anitawu001 @lololalahaoran @YChahahahaAI @lwqconnie @Antiaefuj @MuvaniaJaya @MarcoFerna60597

Most engineering interviews are already obsolete.

And most hiring managers are measuring the wrong thing: résumé prestige, LeetCode speed, and the ability to sound impressive for 60 minutes.

For AI-native teams, the bottleneck is no longer typing. It is judgment.

Can you choose the right problem? Give an agent the right context? Catch a plausible wrong answer? Recover when the data, evaluator, or dependency changes?

My hiring philosophy is simple: start with the 90-day outcome, look for evidence of exceptional ability, let candidates use AI openly, and test whether they can verify and own the result under changing constraints.

Introducing hellyeah/assessment: an AI-open engineering assessment where candidates can use Claude Code, Codex, and their own tools. The proposed workflow gives them four hours to work on a real problem.

We are not trying to detect AI use. We are trying to see what happens around the code: what they delegate, verify, keep human, and stop doing.

Built with @Bharath_uwu, @WilsonTseng8, and @joshualocke100.

The controversial view: the best AI-era engineer may be the person who knows which code should never be written.

What part of the traditional engineering interview would you delete first?

@Tesla this is game changer

[Hellyeah.ai @hellyeah_ai]

SF Tech Week had enough pitch decks. We brought the other kind.

3,000+ RSVPs for OOO — The Techno Sound. Now we had to throw a night worth showing up for.

Hellyeah brought live AI visuals and lighting. @contextconor, LIDIYA, JETWAY, MORTIS, J/TΞK and HAPKI took care of the soundtrack, with sets running until 2 a.m.

More of this side of SF, please. People with something to play, something to make, something to bring beyond their company intro.

Together with @hyperspell, @EragonAI, @astorie_ai, @CollovLabs, @OpusClip, @neobrowser and @SSG_Accelerator, we brought that room to life.

And @Doudoujay, @YChahahahaAI, @lwqconnie, and @CathyChang00 —thank you for putting the whole thing on. Eight hosts, a full DJ lineup, thousands of RSVPs. The recap gets the fun part. You handled everything it took to get there.

Other Tech Week hosts: bring your decks. We’ll compare sets.

Sound up. Who’s playing the next one?
