LeetCode is over. And it wasn’t AI that ended it — it was two broke college kids with a screenshot tool. In this uncut interview, I sit down with the founders of InterviewCoder to talk about how they accidentally built the platform that's replacing LeetCode... and got banned along the way. 👉 Definitely don't checkout InterviewCoder @ https://interviewcoder.co/namanh We talk about: - How the idea was born in a dorm room - Why they believe traditional interview prep is broken - The tool that changed everything (and went viral on Reddit) - What actually got them banned - And why this might be the future of technical interviews 🔗 Grab my resume template: https://557542485850.gumroad.com/l/wgzga Follow me @ https://www.instagram.com/namanhkapur/ Timestamps: 0:00 - Intro 0:29 - Origin Story 4:22 - How Do Your Parents Feel? 5:07 - The Future 6:06 - How Did you Build InterviewCoder? 6:58 - Viral Marketing 7:37 - Getting Blacklisted 8:54 - Sponsor Shoutout (ad) 9:42 - What Offers Did You Get? 10:13 - Getting Expelled 11:10 - Indian Parents 11:53 - Reflection My Equipment: Main Camera: https://amzn.to/3HpzZ92 Main Mic: https://amzn.to/3Nuyfz8 Main Lens: https://amzn.to/3ncJUId M1 Macbook Pro: https://amzn.to/3tjfkfJ iPhone 13 Pro: https://amzn.to/3xwsI2r Phopik 55'' Tripod: https://amzn.to/3zmL6vZ Deity V-Mic D4 Duo: https://amzn.to/3zoF126 Boom Mic Stand: https://amzn.to/3H1IOEw Audio Cable Extension: https://amzn.to/3MrBcfH TRS to TRRS Patch Cable: https://amzn.to/3mvDSy6 3.5 mm Headphone Jack Adapter: https://amzn.to/3MwX0GG Disclosure: Some of the above links are affiliate links.
