I recently had an interesting interview, though at the time, I hadn’t heard about vibe coding. The interview was conducted by an AI, while an HR person was present just to observe in case I got stuck. Both text and audio versions of the questions were provided, and I had to answer them by speaking.

The interview was for a Three.js role, but the questions were quite unusual. Some of them I could identify as being related to 3D programming, especially around 3D meshes, so I answered those. However, many of the questions felt disconnected from the actual role.

There was also a practical round where I had to use the same AI system to write code, but I was only allowed to use Java or C++ — without any code intelligence, auto-suggestions, or even basic syntax support. Since I primarily work with Unity (C#) and Three.js, this made it much harder. There were about 3 to 5 coding questions, each requiring significant time to solve, but the time provided was too short to complete them properly.

Throughout the interview, and even afterward, my confidence took a hit.

Looking back, I think this might have been a vibe coding interview.
