We need to stop testing for "brain recall" and start testing for architectural soundness and system design rigor, moving toward a new paradigm of tool-agnostic assessment. In the enterprise, AI has shifted the definition of what it means to be a "productivity" engineer. According to multiple industry reports, the majority of developers now use some form of AI assistance, whether it is autocomplete via GitHub Copilot, refactoring with Codeium, or architecture planning via LLMs.
As large language models (LLMs) and AI coding assistants become ubiquitous in professional development, we face a strange paradox: hiring processes actively penalize candidates for leveraging these tools, while the very engineers and recruiters administering these interviews rely heavily on AI for their own productivity. Yet, the interview process remains frozen in a bygone era.
