The meta is definitely shifting. Since AI can now instantly output a flawless solution to almost any medium/hard LeetCode problem, asking someone to write it from memory on a whiteboard feels entirely disconnected from 2026 reality. What I'm seeing more of now is a heavy shift towards System Design, architecture, and "Code Review" interviews where you are given AI-generated code and asked to find the hidden bugs or security flaws.
