A solo founder turns weak interview follow-ups into a practice app
Tech layoffs have put more people into the job market, so even candidates who reach interviews through face intense competition. s ask candidates to explain their past work, decisions, and teamwork rather than write code.
s showed that many people could deliver a prepared opening answer but struggled when the questions became more specific. For example, someone might claim that a project finished on time, then lose when asked what actually slipped and what they personally did about it.
Hiring decisions can depend on attitude, teamwork, and practical skills together, not just perfect problem solving. This repeated difficulty led to an interview practice app focused on handling probing questions under pressure.

- A tests how clearly candidates explain their actions, decisions, and teamwork.
