CTO says new grads aren't AI-native, lack AI coding tool experience

A CTO hiring new graduates at a larger company reports they are generally unfamiliar with AI coding tools and have little hands-on use of them. Many of those who did internships worked at traditional companies that also did not use these tools, so they are more fluent in pre-AI software development methods than the "AI-native" label suggests.

From a current CTO at a larger company hiring new grads, who I talked with about the state of college students:

"Everyone says how new grads are 'AI-native' but we don't see this. They're usually not familiar with AI coding tools, have not used them much, and are much more familiar with the pre-AI way of building software.

And many of those who did internships did it at 'traditional' companies where they also didn't use these tools."
