Claude-maker Anthropic’s engineering manager Felix Rieseberg has stopped giving coding interviews, saying Claude is now better at them.

The advice comes as AI-driven layoffs hit entry-level tech jobs the hardest. Claude-maker Anthropic’s engineering manager Felix Rieseberg has stopped giving coding interviews, saying Claude is now better at them.
