Databricks engineer says AI renders LeetCode interviews obsolete
Yuchen Jin, research engineer at Databricks, posted that AI models have rendered LeetCode-style interviews obsolete. For ten years companies screened engineers with algorithmic puzzles solved from memory, yet current models complete these tasks instantly and correctly. Research engineer kache replied that programmers must still invert a binary tree without assistance or they should not hold a computer science degree regardless of AI capabilities.
hot take: if you are a programmer you should be able to invert a binary tree from memory, AI or not. It's ridiculously easy and if you can't do it, you should not have a computer science degree
I’m so glad AI killed LeetCode interviews. For 10 years, tech companies made every engineer grind the same puzzles and prove they could invert a binary tree from memory. Today, the dumbest AI model can walk in and one-shot the entire interview. Thank you, AI.
@Yuchenj_UW fwiw i can still invert a binary tree from memory. just fyi.

@yacineMTB correct take
