Anthropic engineer kills coding interview: 'It no longer provides signal'
petergyang · x · 2026-10-28
Felix Rieseberg, an engineer on his team at Anthropic, declared that the coding interview is dead — it no longer provides hiring signal, and he removed it from the team's loops this month. He also shared a spicy but optimistic take that this shift may create an opportunity for junior engineers. The move is a notable signal of how AI-era hiring standards are changing as models take over much of the coding work.
