>It’s pretty typical stuff that you might expect an experienced engineer to do if they effectively use such tools daily.

It's also the kind of stuff that somebody can learn in a week, so not hiring the right person who just didn't spend this week of time yet for whatever reason is a loss.

Yeah it tells you nothing of value. It's the Recency Bias taken to its ultimate conclusion isn't it. Anything I learned about AI I learned in the last few months but somehow that's as important as all the experience of my decades long software career? Come on.

It signals you don't have enough time or will to chase the latest stuff, otherwise you would have learned it with other cool kids half a year earlier. It carries some signal, but I would not choose based on this alone. I would even consider selecting against this to a certain point, but I also work in a place that COBOL on a mainframe. YMMV.

I agree. A technology professional who views themselves as "one of the cool kids" (read: easily manipulated by social media) is a legitimate security threat, as are many of the popularly promoted approaches to "LLM-assisted software developement".
