Leetcode interviews will die as agentic coding rounds become the new hiring standard
rachittshah · x · 2026-11-10
Gergely Orosz predicts Leetcode-style interviews will die soon, replaced by more subjective hiring like PM/designer hiring. Manthan Gupta adds that agentic interview rounds are already here: a pre-set project, an agent running a good-enough (not frontier) model, and a feature to build or fix. What's tested is whether you can spot when the agent is wrong and how well you manage agents—communication is key. System design rounds also shift toward picking the right design for your current scale, since LLMs love to over-engineer.
