A STUDENT USED AI TO BEAT AMAZON'S BRUTAL TECHNICAL INTERVIEW. HE GOT AN OFFER AND SOMEONE TATTLED TO HIS UNIVERSITY

Summary from the TLDR newsletter

Columbia University student Roy Lee managed to land internships at Amazon, Meta, and TikTok using a simple AI program. He had originally planned to get a degree to work in Big Tech, but training for technical interviews killed his passion for the job, which led him to create the program. Columbia University has scheduled a disciplinary hearing for Lee's stunt, but he will not be attending - Lee plans to leave the university, saying that the program he built is proof that the jobs Big Tech are offering are becoming obsolete.
