Broken Codebase Triage AI-Assisted Coding Interview

Read a small flawed module, identify multiple defects, repair it, and leave concise review-style explanations while treating AI feedback as a hypothesis.

Mock Interview with AI

1. Problem Statement

Review the invoice module, identify every correctness issue you can find, fix it, and explain each change as if commenting on a pull request.

2. Live Coding Format

Work in the provided coding workspace while explaining your decisions to the live interviewer. Validation may use inline tests, examples, comments, or a verbal walkthrough.

3. Key Focus Areas

1
Code reading
2
Bug hypothesis formation
3
Fix correctness
4
Review communication
5
Assistant skepticism

4. What Strong Candidates Should Demonstrate

✓Infer a function contract from code and call-site-style examples.
✓Find more than one defect instead of stopping after the first plausible fix.
✓Use an assistant as a second opinion and validate its explanation.
