This video analyzes in detail the impact of artificial intelligence tools, such as Claude Code from Anthropic, on modern software development processes, hiring principles and qualification requirements for engineers in large IT corporations using the example of Google.

Former Google senior engineer and WebLab co-founder Viktor Tursky, together with Sergey Nemchinsky, discuss the real state of code automation, the concept of vibe coding and the limits of its practical application. They analyze the official statistics of the use of AI assistants at Google and compare the productivity of prompt engineering with professional agent engineering. The experts also examine in detail the stages of developer career growth from level L3 to L7, the specifics of passing technical interviews at large technology companies, the phenomenon of falsification of experience in resumes, and methods for combating fraud by unscrupulous customers of IT services.

Viktor Tursky talks about working on his dissertation on cybersecurity, volunteering, and participating in the life of Weblab during his current creative sabbatical.
