## Summary

Anthropic engineering lead Felix Rieseberg says his team no longer uses coding interviews such as algorithm questions and small code implementations, because they no longer provide useful signal. He argues that AI gives junior engineers a chance to outpace more senior engineers quickly, and advises them to focus on business impact, bold ideas, weekend prototypes, one strong product idea, and their fresh user perspective.

Anthropic 工程负责人暴论：传统的编码面试已经死了

他们不在面试过程中让面试人写代码了，比如做算法题和用代码实现小功能。

借助 AI ，初级工程师是非常有希望快速超过那些资历更老的工程师的，他给了一些建议：

1. 追求商业影响力，而不是只埋头看需求列表。公司雇你是为了让你创造商业价值，而不是仅仅为了编程

2. 一定要有一些大胆的想法，尤其是在 AI 能力突飞猛进的今天，这更重要

3. 用一个周末把它做出来，快速完成

4. 专注一个非常好的想法。不要想把多个想法塞到一个原型和一个产品里面，一个产品主要做一件事

5. 善用你作为新人的新鲜视角和用户视角。因为你很年轻，对用户有共情能力，可以敏锐地感知到产品的问题

> The coding interview is dead, at least for my team at Anthropic. I've seen enough to know that it no longer provides signal. I removed it from loops this month.
