He pointed Claude at the site, logged in for it, and got the AI to do the course for him. It used Puppeteer (a framework for pressing buttons and navigating web pages in code like a human would) to go through the test, watch all the videos, and take the test at the end, all while my friend sat back and watched.
During the biweekly scrum, the manager asked the staff how they were able to creatively use AI outside of their coding tasks, and my friend proudly announced it got it to do his HIPAA compliance test for him. The rest of the team laughed and the manager ate his own words having to admit that there are some things he doesn’t want AI doing for the team.
Best part: the online course provider charges by the number of students who take the course, so the manager would have to lose face by buying another seat, so my friend is free and clear and doesn’t have to take the certification again till next year (which he’s hoping, by then, to find a better place to work).
