CODING INTERVIEWS ARE EFFECTIVE

Summary from the TLDR Web Dev newsletter

Coding interviews are effective for companies despite their limitations because they help minimize the risk of hiring bad candidates. While there are downsides to coding interviews, like pressure and filtering out good candidates who don't perform well, they can be useful for assessing a candidate's problem-solving skills and their potential as a future teammate. Automated assessments aren’t as reliable as they lack human interaction and can’t always catch cheating.
