Coding interviews are still a thing at pretty much all of the places they've historically been. I don't think it's clear yet how much that's going to change, especially since many people feel you do have to be a good coder to use LLM tools most effectively.
- pixel_popping 6mo agoIt will change, as most devs will naturally lose some of their ability to code manually right (I know I did, I can still fully read anything in many languages, but I know if you put me in a blank sheet right now, I might need a few minutes to recall), which mean a coding test might not be appropriate at that point. I believe we might have tests that are more about testing your "agentic skill" more than anything else.
- SpicyLemonZest 6mo agoI don't know, were coding tests as implemented ever really appropriate? I work on 90th percentile theoretical stuff, and there's maybe three times in my career that I sat down and coded an algorithmic puzzle from first principles without a reference solution to work off of.
