Posting a question here for anyone on hiring panels - is AI tooling generally allowed during coding interviews now? Are coding interviews still a thing? Just wondering where the general landscape is today. I'm coming out of semi-IC-retirement, have deep knowledge and technical, but I've never been much of a competitive coder.

LLMs have been a game changer for me - allowing me to attempt the craziest and most hard things I could ever imagine and loving every minute of it (eg. making any Windows Forms application run on Linux/macOS, rewriting TradingView charts into a cross-platform wgpu backed native charting library lol).

Coding interviews are still a thing at pretty much all of the places they've historically been. I don't think it's clear yet how much that's going to change, especially since many people feel you do have to be a good coder to use LLM tools most effectively.
