Welcome — start here

This platform is your private interview lab. You do not need to read everything in one sitting. Pick a study path for a target company, or browse topics you feel rusty on.

In plain English: Think of it like a gym membership for interview prep — articles teach concepts, quizzes test recall, flashcards help you remember over time.

Suggested daily routine (45–60 min)

10 min — Read one article section (or skim the “In plain English” summary first).
25 min — Do 15–20 MCQs from a related quiz bank. Read every explanation, even when you answer correctly.
10 min — Review flashcards due today. Rate honestly (0 = forgot, 5 = easy).
5 min — Bookmark hard questions and export progress from the dashboard if you track externally.

Markdown vs HTML guides

Deep technical articles are written in Markdown with structured sections (ELI5 → Staff notes). Short, visual guides like this one may be HTML for faster scanning and callout boxes.

Both formats appear in the same article list — look for the format badge on each card.

Company study paths

Open Study Paths from the learning nav. Each path bundles:

Articles aligned with that company’s domain (payments, platform, low-latency, etc.)
Quiz banks to drill under time pressure
A realistic week-by-week duration estimate

How to use quizzes effectively

Do not chase a perfect score on the first pass. Wrong answers are the product — they feed Review mode on the learning nav.

Bank quiz — open Quizzes, pick a topic bank, and work through questions at your own pace. Each answer shows an explanation immediately (untimed).
Random quiz (20) — from the dashboard or quiz home, sample 20 questions across all banks for mixed practice.
Bookmarks — star questions you want to revisit; progress and bookmarks stay in your browser.
Look for the green “In simple terms” box in explanations before reading the technical detail.

Spaced repetition flashcards

Cards you rate low come back sooner; easy cards stretch to days or weeks. This mirrors how memory actually works — cramming the night before an interview rarely sticks.

Code Lab

Step through Java snippets line by line. It is not a full JVM — use it to rehearse what each line does before whiteboard or live-coding rounds.
