Given how long it's been around and the lack of credible alternatives for hiring at scale, I'm having doubts.
- mountainriver 4y agoIt _hasn't_ been around long, this is a recent phenomenon in the last 3-5 years, and its a cargo cult like so many other things in tech. It doesn't work well because most of the really bad engineers I know just grind leetcode and end up at FAANG. This will be seen in time
- hiq 4y agoCtCI has been first published in 2008, meaning that such interviews had already been widespread for a few years by then. Since then, websites like Leetcode have apparently become viable as businesses. As a career choice, I find it unwise to bet on this practice disappearing anytime soon.
