I have been so far reluctant to use tools like Antigravity. Yesterday, I asked it to build a Minecraft clone. After about 20 minutes it gave me a basic voxel game with infinite world generation etc. Obviously so many people made Minecraft clone long before LLMs so I would train dataset contained several implementation of it, hence it made me a working game in 20 minutes. But it makes me wonder, everyone whose getting into the field probably used these tools to program projects and put it on their resume as well. so how do y'all vet resume in 2026?

As a programmer with 10+ years of experience, this question gave me a lot to think about. I have to admit to myself that programming skills alone are no longer what makes me valuable. If I switch my role to that of a boss or manager, what kind of people would I hire? My answer: those who show the ability or potential to deliver good results even in the face of significant non-technical difficulties.
