In this episode of "How Many CTOs Does It Take?" podcast, hosts Scott Porad and Brad Hefta-Gaub explore the evolving landscape of interviewing for programmer positions in the age of AI-assisted coding. They discuss the relevance of traditional leetcode questions, best practices for evaluating skills when interviewees may use AI, and the importance of higher-level thinking in interviews. The conversation covers interview techniques such as pair programming and code reviews, possible IP concerns, and whether interview questions are designed to catch engineers or just coders. They also share insights on designing effective interview loops, the kinds of interview questions Microsoft asks, and the implications of using AI models for specific tasks like spell checking.
