Jobs Without LeetCode

2h agoHN ↗

Are there really jobs that still have leetcode style interviews, in the age of LLMs?

2h agoHN ↗

Majority of big tech. Leetcode was 100% irrelevant to the job before LLM and its 100% irrelevant to the job today. So nothing has changed really

2h agoHN ↗

Why not? It seems more important than ever that people know how to actually code, now that everyone can produce endless code of untested quality.

2h agoHN ↗

If LLMs can oneshot leetcode puzzles, then surely leetcode isn't a good measure of whatever the remaining skills that matter are.

2h agoHN ↗

Unless the interviews are brought back onsite I guess

37s agoHN ↗

How is it related? What I would look in person is something LLM can't solve, otherwise why not using LLM. The fact that LLM know how to solve leeth code is just another proof it's useless metric

2h agoHN ↗

Leetcode does not test your ability to code in the sense of anything related to real world engineering applications.

Leetcode merely tests your ability to memorize and regurgitate algorithms from a textbook -- a skill that LLMs can now do a thousand times faster and more accurately than any human.

It never had much to do with real world software engineering, and now it's even less relevant than ever.

37m agoHN ↗

Knowing leetcode is not “knowing bow to actually code”. They are pointless puzzles for children.

2h agoHN ↗

The vast majority of listings I scrolled through were jobs that wouldn't normally have a leetcode interview, given that, you know, they weren't jobs involving coding at all. Even when filtered to software development, the vast majority were not coding positions.

Any way to filter to that?

43m agoHN ↗

Thanks for the feedback. I added a classifier that’s currently running, along with a filter so you can look at engineering roles only.

2h agoHN ↗

Soon this will be jobs that will use Leetcode in person.

1h agoHN ↗

How about jobs without KPIs? Jobs without performance reviews? Can we get a list of jobs where I don’t have to do any work?

Jobs are full of things we don’t like or don’t want to do. I don’t understand this fixation on leetcode as unacceptable because some people feel it’s not related to the work? So is being likeable!

39m agoHN ↗

KPIs, performance reviews, work and being likeable (easy to work with) are part of a job.

Getting rejected for a job maintaining a CRUD application because you didn't use a trie to solve a pointless brain teaser that makes some junior 25 year old feel super smart isn’t.
