Anthropic hiring manager says he stopped giving coding interviews because Claude is better at them — and tells junior engineers that 'hunger beats tenure'
Anthropic’s Felix Rieseberg retires coding tasks in interviews after deciding that Claude does a better job.
Anthropic's engineering manager Felix Rieseberg has announced the end of coding interviews at the company. In a blog post, Rieseberg explains that Claude, Anthropic's AI model, performs coding tasks better than humans, making traditional coding interviews unnecessary. He encourages junior engineers to focus on making an impact and understanding the company culture, rather than preparing for coding challenges.
Rieseberg acknowledges that his decision may seem sudden, but his rationale is based on the fact that Anthropic's AI codes more effectively than any human candidate. Instead of traditional coding interviews, Rieseberg suggests that potential hires should demonstrate their ability to build projects with AI, showcasing their taste, empathy, and principled thinking.
