Agree with the comments around this being a perfectly timed product with the mass layoffs that are hitting tech. I'm wondering, though, that the questions and the traditional sense of software engineering interviews will change. I interviewed over 50+ people during my time at Amazon and truly believe that the interview process (at least for junior/mid-level engineers) needs to be completely overhauled. Juniors need to know system design, not dynamic programming questions. ChatGPT can do that for you :)

@piersonmarks hahaha I LOVE IT ❤️. I could debate this for hours. Here are sooome of my thoughts on the topic: 1. DS&A interviews are just a tool. If you try to screw a screw with a hammer, you'll think the hammer is a terrible tool, but the truth is that it is being used incorrectly – and I have LOADS of thoughts on ways people are executing them wrong. Doesn't mean they need to be thrown away completely. 2. DS&A is a better reflection of reality than people give it credit for. Tree structures are everywhere for example – the web DOM is just a tree, and iterating through and manipulating trees with ease IS an important on the job skill. Dynamic programming are often simplified caching problems as another example 3. DS&A is fair (with LOTS of caveats). A lot of more "practical" skills assessments can actually unfairly disadvantage people coming from backgrounds where they have worked with unusual tech stacks. Dynamic programming is a great example of a type of question that is likely a poor question for certain roles, but I think CAN be a good question for certain other roles, depending on the team and company's goals. This was really challenging to write a comment that wasn't 10x longer, but again, a debate topic I welcome and love! Cheers 🥂
