After interacting with young AI talent, AI researcher YuchenjUW noted a growing frustration with companies that still rely on LeetCode interviews. He argues that LeetCode primarily tests memorization, and in the AI era, even a 3B parameter model can solve these problems faster than humans. He urges the tech industry to shift toward AI-assisted coding interviews focused on solving real-world problems.
