Curated coding interview preparation materials for busy software engineers
A hugely popular interview-prep repo from the author of Blind 75, split between static coding/behavioral/resume guidance and a full Next.js/Prisma portal app (apps/portal) for salary offers, resume reviews, and a community question bank. It's aimed at engineers prepping for FAANG-style interviews who want condensed, practical advice rather than another 500-question grind list.
The portal isn't a toy — it's a real multi-feature app with 40+ Prisma migrations, tRPC-style typed routes, and working salary/offer analysis logic, not just markdown. The written advice is genuinely condensed (do's/don'ts format) instead of padded with filler. Battle-tested at scale: 1M+ readers and a large enough contributor base that the content has been through real scrutiny.
The actual handbook content lives off-repo on a Docusaurus site, so cloning this repo gets you the portal app and not much of the advertised material — a mismatch between what the README sells and what's in the tree. The README is heavy with affiliate links (AlgoMonster, Design Gurus discount codes) mixed into the actual guidance, which undercuts the 'no marketing' pitch. No formal CONTRIBUTING guidelines despite being one of the most-forked repos on GitHub, and system design content is explicitly still a gap years into the project's life.
