Old habits die hard. And engineers are pretty lazy when it comes to interviews, so just throwing the same leetcode problem into coder pad in every interview makes interviews easier for the person doing the interview.

If you want people to interview better, you have to both allocate resources to it, and make it count on perf. It’s not laziness, it’s ROI.

As an interviewer, I ask the same problems because it makes it much easier to compare candidates.

Because if you want to hire engineers then you have to ask engineering questions. Claude and GPT and Gemini are super helpful but they're not autonomous coders yet so you need an actual engineer to vet their outcome still.
