I Messed Up My Google PM Vibe Coding Interview

Buried in the comments the OP acknowledges that this was specifically an AI role and that the OP was unprepared to be asked to vibe code in the interview, not that the OP was surprised the role itself involved vibe coding. We are reading it as if this was a PM interview and vibe coding was sprung on the OP — and that’s why it is interesting — but it was actually just someone who didn’t expect an interview for an AI role to involve demonstrating the skill.

Hmm... reading between the lines, here, it looks like Google is out to save a bit of dosh. Instead of hiring a PM and some developers, they just hire a vibe-friendly PM.

Sign of the times, I guess...

I distinctly remember having to agree to some non-disclosure when I ventured this way a long while ago
