I am not the hiring manager, and unfortunately a lot of interviews and hiring decisions happen at org level or at my manager level. These are mostly sophomores/juniors - folks who went through school in post-COVID, post-LLM era with a lot of virtual classes.

I tried my best to explain it to them, and nudge them to using docs. I did live debugging sessions with them to try and 'teach' them how to use docs. Ultimately, it was taking away too much of my time for little to no return. I only started working in the industry like a month ago and it's my first time having interns that I didn't pick (back in school, I had undergad research assistants that I interviewed/selected, and they were all excellent) - still learning the ropes.
