AI / LLM Statement
At CoreTech we appreciate that LLMs have become a de facto tool for iterating on software designs. To that end, using an LLM to assist you in understanding your solution, in soliciting immediate feedback on approach, and in understanding language features in a greater detail, is permissible.
You will, however, be asked to explain your reasoning for using various constructs, language features and tools on the day, so ensure you understand what you're using!
