I work for a technical screening firm, and we still do a live coding round on a small, self-contained problem. The interview isn't testing what engineers can produce - it's testing how they think. If we can't watch someone reason through a small problem on their own, we can't judge whether we'd trust them to use AI wisely on much bigger ones later. In the end, hiring comes down to trust that the engineer will make good decisions, including decisions about when and how to use AI. P.S. Small plug: we're currently hiring engineers who fit that description https://ats.vistulo.com/roles/hn/ https://ats.vistulo.com/roles/hn/
