Tangental, but is Leetcode dead too? Part of me could foresee Leetcode being believed to be a stronger indicator now, since it would be unlikely that someone that can answer those questions would know absolutely nothing about programming.

Then again, with LLMs, learning to answer those questions is probably easier now than ever.

I haven't applied for a job in a decade, so I am utterly clueless on the current landscape.

I haven't considered that. I've been lucky enough that I never had to go through Leetcode. I have no idea how that will adapt to AI. That could be a stronger indicator, but I can also imagine that people will create tools that read the leedcode challenge and provide the answer. They likely already exist. If you have to do that live you can have a second monitor where the agent provides the solution and you fake writing it yourself during the interview.

Not looking forward to interviewing people in the coming years. I went through a good amount of recruiting over the past year+ and it was already frustrating to see how much AI people were using when asked explicitly to limit usage (because that kills the signals we were looking for)
