Earlier last month, our I/O team, Jeff Facteau, PhD, Kama Dodge, and Tyler Mirando, Ph.D., joined leading I/O psychologists and talent experts at Society for Industrial and Organizational Psychology (SIOP) 2025 to dive into the future of hiring. They shared how skills-based assessments and data-driven insights are driving a fairer, more effective approach to tech hiring. Throughout the event, they engaged in powerful conversations, built meaningful new connections, and left even more energized about the direction our industry is headed.

How far have LLMs come in real-world software engineering? We evaluated GPT-4, Claude, and Gemini across every phase of the SDLC, from planning and design to deployment and maintenance, using four rigorous benchmarks. These models show strong performance in tasks like code generation, patching bugs, and test output prediction. But software development is more than isolated tasks. It is context-rich, multi-step, and dynamic. On SWE-bench Verified, a benchmark that filters out solution leakage and weak tests, top models resolved just 4% of real GitHub issues. But this is the worst they’ll ever be. And they’re improving fast. LLMs are not replacing developers. But they are redefining how software is built, reviewed, and maintained. The next generation of engineers will collaborate with AI at every stage: as reviewers, integrators, and orchestrators. Full blog in the first comment.
