Not going into YC, but I've done similar practice for behavioral interview questions. I've always wished, but rarely have seen, tools like this that give examples of good or bad responses.

I'm not sure why this is, but it always makes me worried that I'm answering them "wrongly."

It’s not a bad strategy to answer “wrongly” if you don’t need to get a job quickly. You’ll weed out the people you don’t want to work for and might find somebody who aligns with what you value.

Interviews are always 2-way, if you hear any of the red flags like "Agile", "stakeholder value", "tests" you can just clock out of the process. Makes it a lot easier.

Do you have a site that does this for regular interview questions? I'm thankfully not job-hunting atm, but it seems like something that would be good to do like 10 minutes of practice every week (or even month) with, regardless of status, and then a lot more practice when you're actively looking.

Actually google has a pretty similar one: https://grow.google/certificates/interview-warmup/

This looks awesome!

Still a major work in progress, feel free to send us any feedback stefan@hellointerview.com . Lots of work happening now.

We don't but that is something we should soon build. If anyone here wants to build something like this using our API, do reach out faizank@slashml.com, and we can give you the resources to build it.
