Ask HN: What do your job interviews look like? (August 2026)

4•Hixon10•55m ago
For those who have recently (Summer 2026) gone through software engineering job interviews, have you noticed any changes in the interview process?

Is it still the usual Leetcode, system design, behavioral and leadership questions, and maybe technology specific questions (e.g., Spring for Java devs, borrow checker details for Rust devs, etc.)?

Or have you noticed something completely different because of the AI agentic era, with companies taking a fundamentally different approach to interviewing engineers? If so, could you share some of the more unique or unusual things you've seen?
