LUCAMEAn engineer at Anthropic has argued that traditional coding interviews no longer work as a reliable filter, because AI tools can solve most of the problems candidates are asked to tackle.

What this means for your business
If you're looking to bring on a developer or IT contractor, the standard technical test is becoming a poor guide to what someone can actually do day-to-day. It's worth asking candidates to walk you through real work they've shipped, or to tackle a problem in an open-book setting that reflects how developers actually work now. Lucame can help you think through what good looks like when you're evaluating technical staff or vetting a supplier's team.
