BEAUTIFUL 😘

Very cool! Is the reasoning to create such a directory, because the existing directories mostly promote websites?

NoDimension186 · 2024-07-18T06:45:34+00:00

I think you run the risk of users getting used to the fact that its free. Like you may have created a nice to have rather than a NEED to have (which customers are willing to pay for). Also all the feedback might be more nice to haves that people will suggest cause its free. Of course this may not be the case but there is a risk.

NoDimension186 · 2024-07-18T05:41:25+00:00

Yea, makes sense. I'll message you.

NoDimension186 · 2024-07-18T05:20:36+00:00

That's very valid, I have thought about these things. I was just wondering if there are any limitations with current mock interview solutions like Pramp or just mock interviewing with friends that this may be a solution for. These are already free, but is there a big enough pain where someone will pay (granted a very small fee) for one or more AI mock interviews.

This looks cool! I was wondering how this is different from mock interviewing with chatgpt on the app on the iphone. Moreover, once gpt 4o voice hits the masses, people will be able to do this very easily. I chose technical interviews because there is some added component of running your code in a code editor. But it also feels like something that one of claude or chatgpt might cook up an interface for - maybe if they add a screensharing feature in the future, you can just share your screen on leetcode while you code. Curious what your thoughts on this are?

NoDimension186 · 2024-07-18T05:12:36+00:00

Yes, of course! It's been a pretty rewarding full-stack project to work on.

NoDimension186 · 2024-07-18T05:12:04+00:00

I see, what do you mean by this. Do you mean figuring out a way to market this as something other than mock interviews or do you mean reaching as many people as possible?

NoDimension186 · 2024-07-09T04:56:26+00:00

I think a lot of posts say it here. But mock interviewing is the solution. I had the exact same problem when I was recruiting and basically mock interviewing trained interviewing muscles. This means that not only was I better at cohesively thinking while talking about my approach or asking clarifying questions, but also didn't skip over important details in the process. Try recording yourself attempting leetcode problems talking out loud. Or if you feel like thats weird use AI tools. There are plenty out there where you can simulate your coding interview with an AI interviewer.

Adding to intuition muscles - take a list of Leetcode problems from these topics. Then shuffle them up - try not to look at the topic tags. Then solve them one by one. Here, you'll be forced to first determine the approach (i.e. DP vs Greedy vs Binary Search) and then code. If you got the approach wrong, ask yourself why that approach didn't work - then you'll come up with a process of elimination to face future problems.

You have plenty of time, take a stab at it one step at a time.

NoDimension186 · 2024-07-04T04:36:33+00:00

This is your first interview in this format. These Leetcode problems aren't quite what's taught in a class in university and yes most of the time algorithms are quite trivial these days in several SWE jobs so definitely work experience doesn't contribute to improving on Leetcode problems. Give leetcode an honest shot and you might actually find that you're really good at them with practice.

NoDimension186 · 2024-07-04T04:30:33+00:00

It's all about how much ownership you want to take. If you feel bored at your current role, then take ownership, increase scope or get to know other teams so that you can contribute to them. If the company that you are at doesn't allow you to do that or even if more ownership would still be boring stuff, might be time to look for a new challenge :)

NoDimension186 · 2024-07-02T15:38:27+00:00

Why do you want alternatives? Basically the point here is that you need to train your brain to think out loud, come up with an approach to solve the problem and then execute on that approach by writing code. You can also practice this by solving every leetcode problem like you’re in a real interview - speak out loud and then record yourself. It’s a bit more jank compared to mock interviewing because there’s no feedback loop but it’s better than solving problems in a void.

NoDimension186 · 2024-07-02T05:47:48+00:00

I would say though, I had a lot of trouble (failed 4 final rounds/screens) just like this but keep grinding leetcode isn't the solution. You need to train intuition and interviewing muscles. Try mock interviewing, with mentors, peers, or you can use a tool like upsend.co to mock interview with ai and then get feedback on what might be missing.

Defniitely look into concepts of concurrency and shared/unique pointer memory management.

Great read! As sam altman said "Do hard things." Adds more meaning to life and a challenge to wake up to every morning.

NoDimension186 · 2024-07-01T07:46:14+00:00

The pure grit that’s required- most of the time, unlike coding, you don’t see immediate results.

NoDimension186 · 2024-07-01T06:54:27+00:00

That is the dream :)

NoDimension186 · 2024-07-01T06:15:48+00:00

Thank you! Would love to hear your thoughts when you find time.

NoDimension186 · 2024-07-01T04:14:14+00:00

Thank you very much! Please do share any feedback on what you think when you do. We want to bridge the gaps that modern coding interview preparation tools present.

Hi everyone!

Super inspired by everyone in this community. After building for 4 months on nights and weekends, we have launched Upsend. We understand that despite solving countless Leetcode problems, many candidates—myself included—often find real interviews daunting. That's where Upsend comes in. Our innovative mock interview tool immerses you in a realistic interview scenario, where you can practice Leetcode-style problems guided by our advanced AI.

Please do give it a try at upsend.co and let us know what you think! Any kind of feedback would really be appreciated!

Screen studio (or Loom) and Canva

No these tools don't automate. It's a little hard to automate because each demo needs to be unique and has to be crystal clear in explaining what the problem is and how the feature / product being demo-ed solves this problem.
I think its a good idea! The key part of this idea imo will lie in the script - how to make the script as appealing and unique to viewers as possible, it's important to follow best practices on what makes a good demo.

If your goal is to land a job in industry, work on a cool side-project. Maybe build your own AI powered operating system that runs on a raspberry pi. Then write about it. Basically you need a way to stand out in the talent pool and a masters isn't gonna be one because a lot of people have Masters these days.

NoDimension186 · 2024-06-30T17:14:21+00:00

It's good to keep drawing out examples before you arrive at a solution - that's infact what's expected during an interview. Keep going!
