A practical technical interview preparation loop
Use a repeatable weekly loop to improve coding, systems, and communication skills.
Diagnose first
Complete one realistic problem under time pressure and review where time was lost. Separate knowledge gaps from communication or debugging gaps.
Practice in short cycles
Alternate coding exercises, system explanations, and one mock interview. Write down assumptions before coding and summarize tradeoffs afterward.
Review the evidence
Track recurring mistakes, not only solved problems. Revisit the weakest pattern each week until your explanation and implementation are both clear.
