Ask HN: What do your technical interviews look like today? (Nov 2026)

4•Heap4112•14m ago
General callout to ask about the state of the standard (if there is even such a thing) of SWE technical interview.

We may be past the point of leetcode challenges, but now different companies have different levels of acceptance for AI assistance.

One data point talked about technical interviews where a candidate was interrupted and asked to lean on the LLM more.

Some companies have shied away from AI and any indication or disclosure of AI assistance is a red flag.

Other companies continue to test coding abiltiy as a baseline expectation and do allow LLMs purely for boilerplate or autocomplete.

Follow up: does your company's AI guidelines for interview candidates align with the guidelines for employees?

It's in a flux, and no standard has emerged. The closest I'm observing across companies I work with is customized work-sample.

"If you can't do standardized, then just have them work on your codebase to see if they can grok it."
