Has anyone got any insights into what hiring software engineers looks like these days? As someone currently with a job and not hiring it is hard to imagine.

Has there been any sort of paradigm shift in coding interviews? Is LLM use expected/encouraged or frowned upon?

If companies are still looking for people to write code by hand then perhaps the author is onto something, if however we as an industry are moving on, will those who don't adapt be relegated to hobbyists?

I haven’t noticed much change yet at my firm. However, I work at a giant organization (700k+ employees) and they’re struggling to keep up. The lawyers aren’t even sure if we own the IP of agent generated code let alone the legal risk of sending client IP to the model providers.

It’s going to take a while.

It's obvious: companies will require both hand-coding and ai-coding skills. Job seeking has been hoop-jumping for many years, so why not one extra hoop?

5 round of LC by hand plus 5 round of LC with AI.

Most of the hiring is happening in heavy AI coding companies, a lot of mid sized companies have freezed hiring or they are also only hiring people who claim to use AI to be 10x devs. For non-lying devs, only big companies seem to be hiring and their process hasnt changed much. you are still expect to solve leetcode and then also sit through system design.

I confirm less hiring and those who do throw more difficult leetcode challenges than ever. The kind of challenge impossible to solve in time without an LLM doing the most part.

Most companies haven't recognized that LLM cheating is extremely effective and widespread yet. Hiring practices have not kept up.
