Interview Coder, developed by cofounders Roy Lee and Neel Shanmugam, aims to challenge the traditional interview process that relies heavily on programming puzzles. After struggling with these puzzles, Lee, now 21, designed the application to make interviews less about solving abstract riddles and more about real programming skills. Despite its original intent as a protest, Interview Coder has become commercially successful, generating over $3 million in annual subscriptions, revealing a high demand for such resources among job seekers eager to excel in technical interviews.
Interview Coder was created as a protest against industry practices that force candidates to solve programming puzzles, aiming to improve job interview success.
Roy Lee, cofounder of Interview Coder, expresses his frustration with the interview process, feeling that it detracted from true programming skills.
The tool boasts over $3 million in annual subscription revenue, reflecting its appeal, even if that appeal involves 'cheating' in interviews.
Interview Coder provides a means for candidates to take screenshots of interview questions, feeding them to AI for real-time solutions.
