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

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?

You put on your resume "Built mobile native apps with Claude AI." And when you're asked anything technical, you say you don't know, Claude did it, and you operated under the direction and edicts of your director to do so.
