AI interviews · Engineers — the AI round, debugging, design and open builds

Debugging and testing code you didn't write

The AI rounds put you in someone else's repo far more often than classic rounds did — a bug-fix phase, a repo of failing tests in an online assessment, a pull request to review, a module to explain. This lesson gives you a five-minute orientation, a triage method for failing tests, and a way to review AI-written code without trusting the AI's summary of it.
