Well working under someone who keeps insisting Software engineering is dead sounds like a toxic work environment.

"1) Python is unreadable."

Would you prefer C or C++?

"2) AI companies are content with slop and do not even bother with clear problem statements."

It's a filter. If you don't get the problem, you'll waste their time.

"3) LOC and appearance matter, not goals or correctness."

The task was goal+correctness.

"4) Anthropic must be a horrible place to work at."

Depends on what you do. For this position it's probably one of the best companies to work at.

It is a filter for academics who write horrible Python code and feel smart, yes.

I think they also have open positions for stealing other people's code and DDoS-ing other people's websites.

> Unironically, yes. Unless I never plan to look at that code again
