Are there really jobs that still have leetcode style interviews, in the age of LLMs?
- drTobiasFunke 2mo agoMajority of big tech. Leetcode was 100% irrelevant to the job before LLM and its 100% irrelevant to the job today. So nothing has changed really
- KeplerBoy 2mo agoWhy not? It seems more important than ever that people know how to actually code, now that everyone can produce endless code of untested quality.
- Retr0id 2mo agoIf LLMs can oneshot leetcode puzzles, then surely leetcode isn't a good measure of whatever the remaining skills that matter are.
- rdbl27 2mo agoLeetcode does not test your ability to code in the sense of anything related to real world engineering applications. Leetcode merely tests your ability to memorize and regurgitate algorithms from a textbook -- a skill that LLMs can now do a thousand times faster and more accurately than any human. It never had much to do with real world software engineering, and now it's even less relevant than ever.
