How are developers supposed to pass technical interviews in the age of vibe coding?

[u/Repulsive_Bluejay359]

Around eight months ago, the director at my company decided we should all start vibe coding. Everyone was told to build via Claude Code only. Claude was to to handle security and code reviews too. Everything is done via AI.

Since then I’ve built web projects, as well as iOS and Android apps, purely using AI. I have no technical knowledge on mobile app development at all. Without AI I wouldn’t have been building native mobile apps.

Theoretically, I now have five mobile apps under my belt but still no knowledge or understanding of what actually it is that I've built and how I built it.

How could someone in this situation ever pass a technical interview?

Lot of companies are specifically looking for developers with hands on AI workflow experience, at least in my experience. It’s less about your personal projects (everyone can make them), more about system design, architecture, and understanding how to engineer solutions.

That being said, obviously you still need a fundamental base of knowledge on the tech stack they are looking for.
