I've built several things! These include bots for code generation that you can tag onto issues, q&a on text etc.

The thing I'm working on now is AI mock interviewing. It's basically scratching my own itch, since I hate leetcode prep, and have found I can learn better through interaction. To paste a blurb from an earlier comment of mine:

I'm building https://comp.lol. It's AI powered mock coding interviews, FAANG style. Looking for alpha testers when I release, sign up if you wanna try it out or just wanna try some mock coding. If its slow to load, sorry, everything runs on free tiers right now.

I really dislike doing leetcode prep, and I can't intuitively understand the solutions by just reading them. I've found the best way for me to learn is to seriously try the problem (timed, interview like conditions), and be able to 'discuss' with the interviewer without just jumping to reading the solution. Been using and building this as an experiment to try prepping in a manner I like.

It's not a replacement for real mock interviews - I think those are still the best, but they're expensive and time consuming. I'm hoping to get 80% of the benefit in an easier package.

I just put a waitlist in case anyone wants to try it out and give me feedback when I get it out

Gonna apologize in advance about the copywriting. Was more messing around for my own amusement, will probably change later



Very cool, I signed up. I agree that practicing a coding interview is better under pressure. It's a much difference skill to solve a coding problem both under time pressure and pressure to speak your thoughts to entertain the interviewer. Only practice can help improve that skill.


Yeah, I agree, the scenario is totally different in an actual pressure situation, I've fumbled so many easy questions. I don't necessarily like leetcode style questions as the standard for the industry for interviewing, but its still a reality and, from what I'm noticing, becoming more difficult in terms of expectations.

Thanks for signing up, will send out an email once its ready to take for a spin!
