The interview question changed.
Code generation takes seconds now. Companies no longer ask if you can write code. They ask if you can judge code.
You must read it. You must critique it. You must find bugs and explain trade-offs.
There are now five types of interview rounds:
- AI-off live rounds: You show your core fundamentals.
- Decaying take-home tasks: These hold less value now.
- AI-assisted rounds: This is the new way to stand out.
- System design: You build with an LLM product lens.
- Behavioural rounds: You prove ownership.
The AI-assisted round is the most important. Interviewers watch your prompts. They watch what you accept. They watch what you reject.
The biggest mistake is accepting a wrong suggestion because it looks correct. Do not accept code without reading it first.
Fundamentals still matter. You still need to understand data structures and complexity. The AI-off round is still here.
