Ask HN: Will your company be doing "LeetCode" interviews a year from now?

I work in big tech. I m a SWE manager, but I have a half a mind to return to being an IC at some point. I am using LLMs at work (mostly for reporting stuff etc), and for coding personal side projects, and generally trying to keep up with all this agentic stuff.I was never good at leetcode, I snuck my way into SWE and SWE management by way of sysadmin/SRE.I m considering interviewing at some point in the future, possibly at companies like Google and Meta. Even for Engineering Manager roles, these companies have coding rounds, so I ve been grinding leetcode slowly.There is a notion floating around that DSA interview questions are quickly becoming obsolete, since you can just ask an LLM for an optimal solution now.Putting aside whether it s good for the brain and for being a good programmer to have these skills sharpened, do you think leetcode style interviews are going the way of the dinosaur, or will they stay or even have a resurgence?
