Anthropic的工程经理费利克斯·里泽伯格已在其团队的招聘中取消了编程面试环节。他在10月27日(周二)发表的一篇题为《渴望胜过资历:给初级工程师的建议》的博客文章中解释了这一变化。
Anthropic engineering manager Felix Rieseberg has dropped the coding interview from his team’s hiring. He explained the change in a blog post on Tuesday, 27 October, titled “Hunger beats tenure: Advice for junior engineers”.
根据个人简介,里泽伯格曾负责Claude.ai、Claude Code Desktop以及Anthropic的Cowork工具的工程工作。他此前曾在Notion、Stripe、Slack和微软任职。
Rieseberg has led engineering for Claude.ai, Claude Code Desktop and Anthropic’s Cowork tool, according to his bio. He previously worked at Notion, Stripe, Slack and Microsoft.
“现在给你出一道小的React挑战题,和考别人汇编语言一样没有意义;Claude在这两方面都更强了,”里泽伯格写道。
“There’s no more point in giving you a little React challenge than there is in quizzing people about assembly; Claude is now better at both,” Rieseberg wrote.
他写道,小型编程挑战曾是他团队中预测成功与否的“一个微弱但有用的指标”。他补充说,如今他团队中影响力最大的构建者无论在这些测试中得分如何都能取得成功。
He wrote that small coding challenges had been “a weak but useful predictor” of success on his teams. His most impactful builders now succeed whatever their scores on those tests, he added.
他为何说新人能获得机会 里泽伯格写道,如今影响力的大小已较少取决于多年积累的框架和库知识。这给了较新的工程师超越经验更丰富的同事的机会。
Why he says newcomers gain Rieseberg wrote that impact now depends less on years of accumulated knowledge of frameworks and libraries. That gives newer engineers a chance to overtake colleagues with more experience.
“我看到相对较新的工程师飞速超越那些可能编程能力更强、入行久得多的人。渴望胜过资历,”他写道。
“I’m seeing engineers who are comparatively new fly past people who are probably better coders and have been around much longer. Hunger beats tenure,” he wrote.
他的建议是针对那些“没有社会资本、地位或权力”的工程师。他们应该弄清楚公司想要实现什么目标,并挑选一个有助于实现该目标的雄心勃勃的想法。然后他们应该利用一个周末构建出一个可运行的原型。他告诫不要将多个想法塞进一个原型中。
His advice is for engineers “without social capital, status, or power”. They should find out what their company is trying to achieve and pick one ambitious idea that would help. Then they should build a working prototype over a weekend. He warned against cramming several ideas into one prototype.
他举了Anthropic的一个例子。两位相对较新的工程师安东尼·莫里斯和爱丽丝·赵利用一个周末为Claude Code构建了一个图形界面原型。他写道,首个公开版本大约八天后就发布了。
He gave an example from Anthropic. Two relatively new engineers, Anthony Morris and Alice Zhao, built a prototype graphical interface for Claude Code over one weekend. The first public version shipped roughly eight days later, he wrote.
他转而看重什么 里泽伯格表示,他尚未想出如何面试那些善于借助AI进行构建的人。目前,他会浏览简历和作品集,寻找能体现“品味、同理心和有原则的思考”的小型原型。
What he looks for instead Rieseberg said he has not yet worked out how to interview for people who build well with AI. For now, he scans résumés and portfolios for small prototypes that show “taste, empathy, and principled thinking”.
其他公司也在改变招聘和评估工程师的方式。据《商业内幕》记者Hugh Langley上周报道,谷歌正在扩大工程面试试点项目的范围,允许候选人使用Gemini。本周,亚马逊警告其工程师不要盲目追求AI使用指标。
Other companies are changing how they hire and judge engineers too. Google is expanding pilots of engineering interviews that let candidates use Gemini, Hugh Langley reported for Business Insider last week. Amazon this week warned its engineers against chasing AI usage metrics.
Anthropic本身已表示,Claude编写了其80%的代码。
Anthropic itself has said that Claude writes 80% of its own code.
