So, how is that pivot to "AI" working out for you, Shopify?

Slop grande! That’s a wonderful expression. I’ve been on the receiving end of one quite recently, and I think I’ll start using that word from now on.

I interviewed there last year. I was penalized for not using enough AI in my interview. I used it, just not enough of it.

They told me it was a company wide mandate. That I should be ready to not write any code but to use AI for everything.

So, whose fault is it?

Fault? I'd say you dodged a bullet by not getting that job.
