A post claiming an Anthropic hiring manager said "I'm scanning resumes and portfolios for little prototypes that exhibit taste, empathy, and principled thinking" collected 1,000 likes on X.
The poster wrote, "Code interviews are dead," calling it a must-read for anyone confused about getting hired in the new era. The post gives no source for the original remark.
Replies split. "'Taste' is the new LeetCode. Except nobody can tell you how to study for it," one said. A developer since 2001 wrote about "watching both StackOverflow mods lose everything and LeetCode die off." Others asked what replaces the interview, and one argued most firms aren't Anthropic and LeetCode is a decent filter for application volume.
One user claimed they were rejected after three back-to-back technical interviews where no AI was allowed, for a role that didn't require coding, and said the remark "feels more like marketing." That claim is also unverified.
“Code interviews are dead.”
