Stop writing code during interviews and do this instead!
With generative AI, writing code during an interview just doesn't make sense anymore The reality is we expect that you can code. It’s implied, it's taught in schools to children, it’s integrated into video games like Roblox. Asking a professional software developer to write trivial coding problems like the Fibonacci sequence during an interview is no longer good enough. We can do better and here’s how. Introduction Technical interviews for software engineers are at a crossroads. The traditional practice of having candidates write code is facing new challenges in the age of generative AI. Writing code is becoming easier to automate, raising questions about its relevance in evaluating real-world skills. In this article, we propose a shift towards code reviews as a better assessment method. Code reviews offer a window into how candidates reason, think, and communicate in a typical workday. They also provide a robust defense against cheating. Join us as we explore the changing land
