The Software Engineer Hiring Process Is Completely Broken in 2026

Why is the software engineer hiring process still so broken in 2026? The job itself has completely changed — you're reviewing code, working with AI models, setting up workflows, and shipping huge amounts of code every day.
But companies still test the way they did 5-8 years ago: LeetCode-style interviews, six or seven rounds, whiteboard coding. The result is that genuinely great developers who can build real applications get filtered out simply because they didn't grind LeetCode for three months.
Here's why the way we hire engineers needs to catch up to the way the job actually works now.
