How to Interview Engineers Who Use AI Coding Assistants
HackerRank Blog
EDITOR BRIEF
The excerpt argues that technical interviews should allow AI tools, since banning them tests a way of working that is no longer typical. With AI available, candidates still differ based on how they direct, verify, and reason about the output. The focus shifts from memorizing code to judging workflow and decision-making.
INSIGHTS
For learners, this means practice using AI as a helper, not a crutch. Try coding exercises where you explain, check, and improve AI-generated code, since that mirrors how modern interviews and jobs may evaluate you.
