How To Master AI-Assisted Coding Interviews

This course prepares software engineers for the growing shift toward AI-assisted coding interviews, where the rules of engagement have fundamentally changed. You'll learn how to strategically approach the first 10 minutes by gathering requirements and writing tests before touching any code, how to leverage AI for generating test cases while knowing when to rely on your own judgment for debugging, and how to communicate your thought process in a way that sounds controlled and intentional.

The course also covers how advanced data structures like tries, heaps, and LRU caches are re-entering the interview landscape now that AI handles their boilerplate implementation — and how to study for them by focusing on the "why" over the "how." To match what these interviews actually test, you'll also learn to shift your practice habits toward reading and tracing code rather than writing it from scratch. The core theme throughout is that AI changes the weight of each skill, not the skills themselves: typing speed matters less, while verification, clear communication, and strategic judgment matter more than ever.
