built for the AI era
AI writes code. Companies hire people who can judge it.
Every developer uses AI now. The ones who get hired can read what it wrote, spot when it's wrong, fix it, and explain their decisions. That takes real fundamentals, and that's what you'll build here.
- Fundamentals deep enough to review AI output
- A full course on working with AI like a pro
- Find-the-bug exercises in AI-written code
- Visual step-throughs so you understand code, not just copy it
// AI suggested this. Spot the bug? function average(nums) { let total = 0; for (let i = 1; i < nums.length; i++) { total += nums[i]; } return total / nums.length; } average([10, 20, 30]); // 16.67 ?!

Questions? Answered.
Who is this for?
Anyone who wants a coding job and wants to stand out in the interview: fresh CS grads, developers going after a better offer, and people switching into tech from another field. Everything you need to get hired is here, in order: interview questions, the lessons behind them, and the job-hunt skills.
I already know how to code. Is this too basic for me?
No. Skip the foundations and go straight to the 1,000-question interview bank, the algorithms course, system design and behavioral prep. Questions are ranked by how often they really come up, so your time goes where it counts.
I've never written code. Is this for me?
This site assumes you can already write basic code. If you're starting from the very beginning, our sister site Crayon CS (crayoncs.com) teaches the full computer science curriculum, explained simply. Come back when you're ready to job hunt.
Which jobs does it prepare me for?
Software engineer, frontend, backend, full-stack and data-adjacent roles, from startups to big tech. The bank covers algorithms, trees and graphs, JavaScript, Python, SQL, web, system design, CS fundamentals, tools and behavioral interviews.
Can this really get me ready for companies like Google or Microsoft?
It covers what those interviews test: data structures and algorithms, system design, CS fundamentals and behavioral questions built on their published values. Nobody can promise you a specific job, but you'll have practiced the right things in the right order, until you can solve and explain them with confidence.
What does "explained simply" mean? Is it basic?
No. The interview questions are the real, hard ones. "Explained simply" means every solution is broken down in plain words and visuals until it clicks, so you understand it well enough to handle a twist you've never seen.
How much time do I need?
20–30 minutes a day makes steady progress. If you have an interview next week, start with the most-asked questions in each topic: they're at the top of every list.
Is it really free?
Yes. Every core lesson and the most-asked questions in every topic are free. Full access ($39 a year) adds the advanced courses and the full interview bank.
What do I need to start?
Any laptop or desktop with a modern browser. Code runs in your browser, so there's nothing to install.
What if I get stuck?
Every exercise has hints and a full solution, and the visualizer steps through code line by line so you can see exactly where it goes wrong.
Can I cancel?
Anytime, from your dashboard, in two clicks. And there's a 14-day money-back guarantee if it's not for you.
