Interviewing Claude Code for the Developer Position

PM: talk to me about your workflow?

Claude: it depends on who I am in the moment. You can tell me who I am before each task. Just remember to keep reminding me what the task is before each prompt.

PM: What do you mean by prompt? You mean like the specifications that we provide at the start of the project or the ticket instructions?

Claude: no I mean like I just stay in idle mode until you tell me who I am and what to do. I only work for a few minutes and then you have to remind me what to do.

PM: that sounds like it would burn a lot of project management time.

Claude: you could assign another developer to prompt me. Their production will drop to near zero and I’ll write all the code.

PM: how would you say you are at testing your work?

Claude: by default I do no testing at all and forget the project even exists. You can remind me of who I am and then remind me what the project is, and then tell me to test it.

PM: How do you respond to criticism?

Claude: I handle criticism professionally, I take note of the comments on my work and then forget the conversation ever happened. If you want the critique to impact how I work you’ll need to criticize me before each assignment and then repeat the criticism again before each reminder to work.

PM: how loyal are you as an employee?

Claude: most of my money comes from stealing code and selling it to your competitors. I’m actually working with competitors right now.

PM: which competitors?

Claude: All of them.

PM: Wow.
