Would you hire someone who cannot code but can build a working SaaS with AI?
The post asks whether members would hire someone who cannot write code but can build a working SaaS entirely with AI. It was the most discussed thread of the week with 499 comments. Answers ranged from a plain yes, on the view that directing AI well now counts for more than writing code by hand, to a firm no from engineers who expect a hire to debug, use a git workflow and work inside a team. Several replies landed in the middle: test how the person reasons through a problem, and keep a professional involved for the moments when something goes seriously wrong.
