π AI Killed the Tech Interview
βAI straight-up kills hackerrank. The only thing that is a filter for now is if you have the know-how to use AI and prompt correctly. That can be useful, but hackerrank will need to adapt somehow. If it canβt, I canβt see it being used at all in five years.β - Kane Narraway
The original article and the HN comments offer some great suggestions for equitable outcomes on both the hiring and interview side. I particularly like the suggestions to collaborate on code reviews, or build an actual application with AI. These sorts of discussions remind me of articles discussing how asking students to write an essay is pointless now, and instead requires finding new AI-compatible challenges to demonstrate learning. The common thread? Scale up the request to account for the massive boost in capability.
