They'll change the questions. No chance in hell leetcoding is going away. It will be even more important, with even greater ceremony. > employers will bring people back into the office to interview. Nothing stops people from getting the questions they'll be asked ahead of time from insiders, like their friends or a recruiter, which is really how people have been cheating. This is how it is possible to be Google and have identical standards for years but nonetheless observe overall quality of hires go down.

Based on my experience receiving the questions beforehand is not super likely. Getting other interviewers’ questions beforehand /as another interviewer in the loop/ is already like pulling teeth.

> They'll change the questions. No chance in hell leetcoding is going away. I'd take that bet. Leetcoding is something that GPT 4 is very good at doing -- and it does it faster than any engineer can type, let alone think.

> No chance in hell leetcoding is going away. Hopefully it does. If an LLM can do that, why should I have to do that, both in an interview or outside of one. LLM-assisted programming is where it's at, and there's no going back. Being able to do a leetcode isn't a good test of a candidate in the first place.

  We didn’t have to invert binary trees outside interviews before LLMs either, yet leetCode is where it’s been at.

It's also because one can study and grind amd optimize for leetcode. So it's really about who has the time, resources (and incentive to work for free) to really grind leetcode before the interview. In a way it's probably equivalent to students who just bang everything into their head before the semester exam and forget it all again two weeks after. (Not that that's a bad thing, it just doesn't really say anything about a candidate)
