I don't know if there's a _rising_ pushback but you definitely do hear a not-small amount of complaining about coding interviews on HN.


Sure, but all in all, you just need 100 frequent HN users hating on these interviews to fill all related threads with such complaints, and there are dozens of millions of SWE worldwide. Big tech companies still hire mostly based on this type of interviews and they've been growing a lot lately, meaning that enough people apply to them. Leetcode and the likes have also democratized the process for many candidates.

If anything, I'd say that the proportion of the workforce willing to submit themselves to these tests is increasing, but that's just a guess.
