AI is changing org charts faster than it is changing code. On June 12 in NYC, Enrich brings together leaders for a candid discussion on hiring, firing, and managing technical talent in an AI-driven economy. Hosted by Christine Fraher and organized by Jordana Stein's Enrich network, the conversation features Amanda Richardson, CEO of @CoderPad, and @tomgriffiths, Co-founder and CPO of @HoneHQ. As companies push for greater efficiency with leaner teams, leaders are rethinking hiring standards, performance management, workforce planning, and the role of managers in an environment where AI is reshaping how work gets done. The companies that adapt best to AI won't be defined by their tools, they'll be defined by the quality of their people decisions. #nyctech #newyorktech #leadership #technicaltalent #futureofwork

I just went through a live coding interview process, I used heavily Codex in Coderpad to implement the required functionalities, we discussed the AI-generated code, and the interviewers helped me to verify if all the manuel or automated tests pass. #aiaugmented #codinginterview

I could tell stories about coderpad / notepad sites used for almost a decade By tech interviewers By outsourced support desks By government informers By drug dealers By call center scammers By devs and Devops Credentials, full customer records, intelligence reports, … 😵

nearly every technical i've had is a real world problem they have they want you to sketch out the solution for now. The places doing coderpad stuff still are corporate hell and laughably easy to cheat but even those haven't been lc problems they've been one level above fizzbuzz

We had an unbelievable tech team and talent overall. Many of them went onto awesome careers. Founders of Coderpad, Modern Treasury, Maude, amongst others EPD at Airbnb, Stripe, Apple, Oscar, Google, I’m sure I am missing some. Many were fist-time PMs and engineers and I’m very grateful to have helped them get started.

【残酷な現実】 「とりあえずReact書けます」レベルのエンジニア、今年の採用市場では完全に足切りされています。 最新の2026年雇用市場データ（CoderPad等）が出揃いましたが、エージェントの現場目線でぶっちゃけます。今の採用市場は「スピードと量」から「圧倒的な質（Quality-of-hire）」へと完全にパラダイムシフトしました。 頭数合わせの採用は激減しているのに、採用予算自体は前年比16%増。つまり、「少数の超優秀な即戦力に、莫大な資金（高単価）が集中する二極化」が鮮明になっています。 ✔︎ 「流行りのフレームワーク」より「堅牢な基礎技術」の再評価 コーディングテストで最も試されているのは「SQL、REST API、Java、Python、JS」です。表面的なツール知識ではなく、「DBをゴリゴリにチューニングできるか」「並行処理のバグをGoやRustで防げるか」といった、システム全体の深い基礎理解が必須要件になっています。 ✔︎ QA（品質保証）エンジニアの需要が「 220%」という異常値 これが今回一番のエグいデータです。AIがコードを大量生成するようになった結果、それに潜むバグやハルシネーションを防ぐ「システムガバナンスと信頼性の担保」が企業の最重要課題になりました。 旧来の手動テスターではなく、CI/CDや自動テストを構築できる『AIガバナンス＆リライアビリティ（信頼性）エンジニア』は、現在バブル状態であり桁違いの年収で奪い合いになっています。 AIによって「ただコードを書く人」の価値が暴落した今、求められているのは「AIが生み出すリスクを制御し、ビジネスに直結する堅牢なシステムを設計できる人」です。 いつまでも「モダンな技術スタックガー」と言っている人は、容赦なく市場から淘汰されていきますね。

[Offer] Meta | Business Engineer L4 | London | Feb 2025 for 1.5 CR Package Round 1 - Screening leetcode.com/problems/sum-ro… perfectly, discussed TC and SC leetcode.com/problems/palind… pretending that “solving the problem” approach with a little but of acting and took up a lot of time to discuss on how to build palindrome matrix Proposed building a palindrome 2D boolean matrix, started with len = 1, 2, and so on… Once palin[beg][end] computation is complete, if the value is True I add it to the vector<string> result. Asked for more optimisation - I proposed we don’t need to maintain the nxm array, we can only keep last 3 length boolean array. The most optimal solution was start from each index and start branching out to on both sides - I couldn’t provide that. Learnings: The time is really less for Meta interviews, don’t try to pretend you are solving the problem. After clarifications, immediately jump into the solution. Round 2 - DSA Round 1 After Basic introduction, jumped to the first problem. leetcode.com/problems/buildi… if I’m allowed to traverse from the end, interviewer was ok. Implemented the solution, did dry run and discussed TC & SC. Follow Up 1:What is buildings had ocean on both sides. Share the list of buildings which had ocean view in at least one of the sites. Proposed to 2 pass(forward and backward) algorithm and store them in sets(hashmap) to remove the duplicates. At the end return them as a vector. He asked me if I’m aware of any of the hash algorithms, I said no - no worries. Follow Up 2:If you can remove at least one building, how to decide which building to remove so that no of total buildings with ocean view is increased. Proposed, for ith building I’ll maintain monotonically decreasing building length till (i-1)th index. That won’t work, if the (i 1)th building had the same height. Then I proposed from right I’ll store them in multiset and then try to remove current building and see if there any other larger building exists on the right side. I only had discussed the solutions for both the Follow Ups, no need to write any codes. Given M sorted arrays with N total elements. Find the Kth element in the sorted array.I initially proposed to merge all the sorted arrays using divide and conquer method. Wrote the code for that as well. I screwed up during the complexity analysis, usually it should be O(NlogM). But somehow I came up with O(N^2logM), which isn’t correct. He asked me if we had to solve this brute force way, how would you do it? I mentioned maintaining M pointers for all the individual arrays and take smallest element out of these m indexes. Wrote the code for that. This was a solution for O(MK) complexity. Then he hinted me, the outer loop for K is definitely problem constant, we can’t do much about it - how can we optimise the inner O(M) loop. I instantly gave the response of using a heap/priority queue data structure and always pick up the small the element from the top. He was satisfied and said no need to write the code, since it’s anyway just two method calls(push and pop/top). He further asked regarding the complexities about why pq/set and why it’s logarithmic - explained the underlying heap structure and heapify process. Reducing the overall complexity to O(K*logM) Round 2 - DSA Round 2 No introduction, straight to the problem Sliding window Average Find average of each Sliding window. Given an input array of n elements and a sliding window for size k, find the average of each sliding window.input = [1,2,3,4,5]k = 3output = [2.0, 3.0, 4.0](1 2 3)/ 3 = 2.0(2 3 4)/3 = 3.0(3 4 5)/3 = 4.0Expectation was to solve it in O(n) time and O(1) space. Interviewer tried to throw me by saying “Can we do better than linear time?” I logically countered, why it’s not possible to have better than linear time. I coded it up, discussed around SC/TC. During dry run, I discussed various test cases and handle that in the code as well(e.g. k ≤ 0). He was very much focused around how do I handle with the validation and various use cases(which I believe should’ve asked during clarification phase). leetcode.com/problems/find-p… (Needed to find the local minimum element, smaller or equal is considered for local minima). He asked me to do better than linear time, proposed the binary search solution using O(logN) solution. Later he mentioned consider only smaller element to evaluate the local minima element, what changes will be required in that case (proposed to change ≤ symbol <). Later he encountered the use case where we had duplicates, which I had to handle by shrinking the window (lo , hi—).e.g. 1 2 2 2 2 2 2 Round 3 - Hiring Manager Bunch of Tell me about a time kind of questions and deep discussions around my answers. Round 4 - System Design Design a crowd sourced 3D Street View and video source is Smartphone attached to a Car. Depending on the season or time of the day the customer will see different rendered 3D view of the street. Interviewer was really nice, hardly interrupted unles it was needed and let me complete the full design. Learning: Whatever you'e sayiong, just to try to document that - since that whiteboard/coderpad will be the source of truth for the interviewer. Round 5 - XFN Collaboration Bunch of Tell me about a time kind of questions and deep discussions around my answers.

Everyone thinks AI is killing junior engineering jobs — it's not. We're are hiring another 1,000 engineering interns this year @ShopifyEng Interns have always brought hunger, curiosity, intensity and now they bring their brains and an LLM. Why wouldn't you want to infect your company with AI centaurs? I spoke with @CoderPad on why the junior engineers who understand AI deeply enough to know when to use it and when to not use it are the ones I'm hiring first. Not last.

I may have judged coderpad/hackerrank too harshly.

API design problems are an uncommon iOS interview problem, but I had three of them in my interview grind last year. It’s similar to system design rounds, except instead of drawing on a (virtual) whiteboard, you’ll need to write some code, and defend it. You are required to demonstrate clarity of thought about building complex features, and need solid communication skills when explaining abstract functionality. This is a social feature that displays a list of friend suggestions. Design the protocols we will need to implement the feature. Answering these is all about calm control of the situation: measure twice, cut once. First, take your time detailing requirements. Here we might suggest: - For MVP, the screen can be built using a LazyVGrid and .searchable(). - Typing into the search bar queries our backend with the search string. - Backend returns user metadata, includes imageURL that points to CDN. - Results should be paginated to avoid overloading the system. - When displaying media, we fetch from a service that handles downloading and caching. - Since this is friend suggestions, we will want functionality to send a friend request. - For simplicity, I’ll ignore local persistence, analytics, and feature flags. Usually you’ll be in something like CoderPad or HackerRank actually live-typing as you go, so the interviewer will see everything. Next you can begin writing out the services you need, with their interfaces, that you might inject into the view model (or view). Here, we would want a SearchService, a MediaService, and perhaps a FriendRequestService. It’s nice to, either out loud, or in-code, casually flex your knowledge of lower-level implementation details, such as concurrency, pagination, SwiftUI, or caching.  The interviewer will often throw a spanner in the works after your answer. In this instance, you may be asked to demonstrate APIs for the local persistence that you de-scoped.

Teams are no longer hiring for typing out code character by character. Instead, they need ambitious builders who can leverage the latest tools and techniques to achieve in a day what a team of five used to achieve in a week. Tools like CoderPad and HackerRank have tried to band-aid a “AI Agent” on their Leetcode interview platforms, but these toy environments have nothing to do with how software is built today.
