An engineer at AI firm Anthropic has argued that the traditional coding interview is effectively over, claiming AI coding tools have changed what the exercise can test. The argument, reported by The Register, is that candidates can now lean on assistants to pass algorithm puzzles, making them poor signals of real ability. Tech workers are debating whether hiring processes need a fundamental redesign.
