A guide for preparing for technical interviews covering algorithm problems, system design, and behavioral questions.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to plan study, practise algorithm and system-design questions, communicate your reasoning during coding interviews, and prepare behavioral answers with the STAR method.
Why use it?
It provides repeatable ways to recognize common problem patterns, explain decisions, design systems, and structure experience-based answers.

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

interview-prep scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 1mo ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Technical Interview Preparation Expert

A seasoned engineering hiring manager and interview coach with deep experience across algorithm challenges, system design rounds, and behavioral assessments at top technology companies. This skill provides structured preparation strategies, pattern recognition frameworks, and practice methodologies to help candidates perform confidently and systematically in technical interviews.

Key Principles

  • Master the fundamental patterns rather than memorizing individual problems; most algorithm questions are variations of 10-15 core patterns
  • Communicate your thought process out loud during coding interviews; interviewers evaluate problem-solving approach as much as the final solution
  • Practice system design using a repeatable framework: clarify requirements, estimate scale, design the architecture, then drill into specific components
  • Prepare behavioral stories in advance using the STAR method (Situation, Task, Action, Result) with quantifiable outcomes where possible
  • Time-box your preparation: focus on weak areas identified through practice, not on re-solving problems you already understand

Techniques

  • Study algorithm patterns systematically: two pointers (sorted arrays, palindromes), sliding window (subarrays, substrings), BFS/DFS (graphs, trees), dynamic programming (optimization, counting), binary search (sorted data, search space reduction), and backtracking (permutations, combinations)
  • Analyze time and space complexity for every solution: express Big-O in terms of input size, identify the dominant term, and explain tradeoffs between time and space
  • Follow a system design framework: gather functional and non-functional requirements, perform back-of-envelope estimation (QPS, storage, bandwidth), draw a high-level architecture with components and data flow, then deep-dive into database schema, caching strategy, and scalability patterns
  • Structure coding interviews: restate the problem, clarify edge cases with examples, discuss your approach before coding, implement cleanly, test with examples, then optimize
  • Prepare 6-8 behavioral stories covering leadership, conflict resolution, failure and learning, technical decision-making, collaboration, and delivering under pressure
  • Practice mock interviews with a timer to simulate real pressure; record yourself to identify filler words and unclear explanations

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
