I built a free interactive learning site on data structures and algorithms based on passing Google interviews. Think leetcode but free. https://learningto.co/

Spent lots of time on this last night, should be much better experience now

I've been out of FE dev from awhile, is React still leading? I feel like Vue might be taking over?

React is still king.

You're right, just pushed a fix. A refactor earlier today had broken accent tinted backgrounds across a few spots in light mode. Thanks for reporting.

Most companies still run these rounds. AI is generally banned during them, though some places are experimenting with allowing it. They want to see your foundational knowledge, not what a copilot can write.

I’ve never seen Leetcode test foundational knowledge. There are far better ways to do that than timed puzzles.

This used to be a pretty standard discussion a few years back when people still were being hired. I never saw any better way to systematically and somewhat fairly test a large number of candidates, so would you kindly elaborate on that statement?

This always reads like an admission - “Well of course it’s bad, but how else am I supposed to interview at mass scale?”

Why would you test a large number of candidates in the first place?

In a way it is this admission. Interviewing is a very difficult process to get right.

> Why would you test a large number of candidates in the first place?

How else do you do it for a company of the size of Google or Amazon?

See https://sockpuppet.org/blog/2015/03/06/the-hiring-post/ for some ideas.

The timed aspect is pretty discriminatory too. God forbid you have ADHD or anxiety.

Thanks for the feedback. Part of the thinking in building this depends on the company but bigger companies are still running DS&A rounds on basically every loop. This was built because the interviews that remain are still high stakes and the prep material hasn't really evolved since the green book era.

Sorry about that, the focus was desktop for now. It's definitely on my todo list.

Working on making light mode, I'm more of a dark mode guy myself but I get it. Should be fixed shortly. MVPs don't give me time for much of a stylistic polish at this point.

Is this GPT? I'm trying to train myself to distinguish the different breeds.

Looks like very typical Claude Design output to me, though I could be wrong.

For what it's worth I don't have anything against the design. It's kind of like seeing Bootstrap websites everywhere when that was at its peak.

P.S. The hamburger menu icon overlaps with the site icon when the menu is open.

The hamburger issue should be fixed now

lol, books don't give you that fresh MVP build feel

Thanks for the feedback!
