What's Your Go-To Coding Interview Practice?

Question
1

I’m studying web development in college and I find myself not preparing for regular programming questions. I’ve found sites like HackerRank and Exercism to be cool, but I kinda just want to learn and relearn programming concepts via an online website/app?

It’s always best to put yourself in the interviewers’ shoes. ‘But I’ve never interviewed anyone before,’ you say. Exactly, so Google or ask AI for good interview questions. Then practice those.

I swear I once had someone ask me the first question of the first result you get when you Google ‘good JavaScript interview question.’

Well that’s how you prepare to interview people honestly. At least part of it.

I’m a fan of CodeWars. You get to see all of the working solutions and the test cases. Best of all, it’s free.

For mastering web development, start with LeetCode for algorithm problems and its web development section. Frontend Mentor is great for real-world UI challenges, and CodeWars offers practical web-focused coding challenges. You can also try Pramp for free peer-to-peer mock interviews. Begin with basic data structures, then move to algorithms and web-specific topics like DOM manipulation and async programming.

I’m too young to get a job, but something I do to make sure I know stuff is by telling my mom everything about programming computers logic and the web the most complex way possible.

Or the simplest way lol, yeah the family test is always good.

No man, not the simplest way, the hardest way so they don’t realize that you are trying to center a div for the whole day.

The best way for me to learn is to make useful things / small projects using the concepts you want to learn.

When you’re working on a problem, write out and illustrate what you’re thinking, not just the final solution, but your whole thought process.

Can someone tell me the roadmap for the SDE role intern for the college student from IIT who is in 2nd year, has good knowledge of DSA and CF rating 1500, and knows HTML, CSS, JavaScript? I’m currently exploring React JS. Could you suggest what I should do next and for the backend? Which path should I follow, Next.js or GoLang? Also suggest for Database and then DevOps.
