2027 SWE interview intel on AI coding interviews 👀 s/o to my
#sponsor @trycognition for part 2 of my AI-assisted coding interview series 🙏
AI-assisted coding rounds, debugging, and codebase navigation are starting to show up in software engineering interviews. I’ve been talking a lot about how CS students can actually prepare for this shift, and one of the biggest changes IMO is that these interviews can test a lot more than data structures & algorithms.
My followers have reported needing to understand existing codebases, give AI agents the right context, investigate bugs, implement features, write tests, and explain the trade-offs behind their decisions.
And that’s why I wanted to show you how I actually use Devin. I often use Devin through Slack on real coding tasks to investigate issues, identify root causes, and build features. IMO, practicing this kind of workflow is a much more realistic way to build AI-assisted software engineering skills than writing one-off prompts in a c...
