Rather than banning AI in technical interviews, better to see how the candidates use it and if they can comprehend what the LLM is saying, the quality of their prompts and own thinking.

#12I've simply tell candidates to use AI as part of the interview process now. It functionally changes nothing about the evaluation.

For our business we don't use Leetcode, the future looks something like paid bounties and in person interviews. tinycorp from George Hotz does the very same thing of paid bounties to get hired there.

>Leetcode needs to die and a means to an end in the age of AI. This is just, like, your opinion. Your future employer may think otherwise, and look for people with algorithmic skills. "But leetcode is actually evil" is just your rationalisation of your cheating.
Who said leetcode was "evil"?
I am an employer and would much rather have in person interviews than leetcode.
It doesn't test for anything that AI can do already if not faster otherwise.

I believe people who are using these AI tools to pass interviews wont be able to use AI in their real job in a net positive manner.

#15This is why we have moved all interview loops to in-person. I highly recommend everyone who is a hiring manager do 100% of their loops in person. Granted, the coding section isn't 100% of the interview, but it's very important.

No, also mine.

#17Great, another paid tool to cheat at coding interviews. I guess the future is coming back to on-site interviews only.
Fraud seems like something to be proud of anymore.
Re: Interview Coder is an invisible AI for technical interviews
#18So, am I missing something? Is this just a tool allowing job candidates to commit fraud? I'm no lawyer, so I'm not sure this would rise to the level of actual legal fraud, but moral fraud at the very least is what I think I'm seeing. EDIT: Now I see it at the bottom of the page...

Or maybe it's defensive against an industry who has developed ridiculous hiring practices.

The majority of this industry thinks leetcode is shit. It's some skill for sure, just not such an important skill that it becomes the de facto key test for software engineers.
Re: Interview Coder is an invisible AI for technical interviews
#20Good. This destroys a system that is already broken and renders Leetcode and others useless for evaluating candidates in the AI era.
The most ironic thing is that this qualifies for "hacking a system to your advantage" for Y Combinator.
Those that are upset by Interview Coder as 'cheating' are themselves bounded by an outdated system waiting to be disrupted and Interview Coder is the result of that.
The only way to stop this and is to return to onsite interviews. Which reduces cheaters to >98%.
This spells the definitive end of Leetcode and the rest of the online assessment tools.
