> I don’t like LeetCode as a post-college SAT, but pass-fail technical screens do filter out candidates who cannot break down and solve problems in the language they will actually use, even with AI.

I strongly disagree. Leetcode-style exercises are detached from the realities of software engineering, and signal ad-hoc preparation over actual competence and skills.

Just because you do not know how to implement a, say, ray search algorithm with optimal complexity that does not mean you cannot implement a background worker, a card with accessibility, a service which securely handle RESTful requests, etc. So why aren't you excluding everyone who is not a ray search experts from your application process? Do you seek to hire competent software engineers, or do you want to have a room of ray search enthusiasts?

Considering the mention of AI in job searches and screening, I don’t know if this is actually from 2016. Some fantastic advice in here though, particularly on navigating political / technical landscapes

What font did you use? It is such a beautiful and different than others.
