Which makes me wonder: why shouldn't AI use be a core part of technical interviews now? If we're trading "knowledge of how to code" for "knowledge of how to use LLMs" and treating Claude like a much more productive junior engineer, do we still need to filter candidates on their ability to write a doubly linked list? And if we are still asking those sorts of interview questions, why shouldn't candidates be able to use LLMs in the process? After all, like others have said elsewhere in this thread, you still need some core technical capabilities to effectively manage the AI. It's just a tool and we can judge how well someone knows how to use it or not.

There's a fundamental problem with your question, which is the suggestion that technical interviews are still needed at all. Technical roles can be replaced with roles that are more akin to production managers, and we should absolutely be testing those candidates for LLM competency.
