Interviews were designed for a different era. Traditional technical interviews were built around a simple assumption: that the ability to write code under pressure is a good signal of engineering skill. That assumption made sense when writing code was the main bottleneck, when knowledge of syntax and algorithms mattered more than anything else, when tools were limited, and when AI did not exist. But that world no longer exists.
Interviews were designed for a different era
Traditional technical interviews were built around a simple assumption:
The ability to write code under pressure is a good signal of engineering skill.
That assumption made sense when:
- Writing code was the main bottleneck.
- Knowledge of syntax and algorithms mattered more.
- Tools were limited.
- AI did not exist.
But that no longer exists.
The reality of modern development
The mismatch is structural, not accidental
Most interviews evaluatee:
- speed under artificial pressure
- isolated problem solving
- memorization of patterns
But real engineering work requires:
- judgment
- system thinking
- communication
- decision-making under uncertainty
These are not tested properly.
