  I watch everything with Jonathan Blow and appreciate that the interviewer actually knows enough about him to get him to cover stuff he hasn't talked about much before. Great interview.

  Jon seems so happy and engaged in this interview. Really great conversation full of fantastic insights, even for those of us who have watched many many hours of Jon online. Thank you.

  Yeah you are bang on right about the competence of the average programmer or game developer. I see lots of flashy design documents, prototypes, portfolios, resumes - you name it. I usually ask them straight up what parts of the things they are showing me they did themselves, but this doesn&apos;t catch out the ones that use AI or YT tutorials to make their stuff.<br><br>What I do now is sit a laptop in front of them, ask them about something moderately complex they have supposedly done in their portfolios and ask them to modify a small part of it in real time, just to see how they approach the task. Of course they won&apos;t be able to finish the whole thing right there and then, but the ones that have been cheating their way through the system won&apos;t even know where to look or how to begin modifying their own work.
