More often than not the code in research needs to be flexible (from pbp to aggregate level). If AI can get you answers but a) uses functions no one has seen before, b) you can't explain what's happening, and c) adjusting the code is more than a few line changes, what's the point?
When we've giving coding tests in the past, pre-AI, we let the candidate do web searches all they wanted... because that's what we do in our regular job Doing stuff by memory is silly in a brand-new environment No idea about the AI-age

This is Carter Jensen’s 6th career leadoff homer — all while playing catcher & this year That’s two more leadoff homers as catcher in a career than anyone else in MLB history
Another leadoff homer! Carter Jensen's six leadoff homers this year are the most by a Royal in a single season!

Myles Straw’s baseball card collection belongs in a museum, one grail after another. This is a story I’ve looked forward to writing all year, about Straw’s “semi obsession” and what these pieces of cardboard mean to us: mlb.com/bluejays/news/myles-…

Jake Burger broke down the funny story behind how his 23 (!!!) swing streak was broken. ⬇️
Jake Burger’s 23 consecutive pitches swung at in 2023 is the longest streak by a non-pitcher in the pitch-tracking era (2008) only longer, by a pitcher: Jorge De La Rosa, 25 in a row from 7/10-8/26 in '08 h/t the wizard, @JasonBernard_
