Coderbase Product Update: Unit Testing the Interview

Hey HN, wanted to share an early peek at what I've been building over the past few weeks.

I've spent the last 7 years conducting over 3,000 technical interviews. Along the way, I made the (utterly insightful) observation that most hiring processes are broken, often relying on vibes and ad-hoc trivia. Coderbase is in large part my attempt at treating hiring and interviewing as a rigorous systems engineering problem rather than a simple outsourcing of the thick side of the hiring funnel.

I'm essentially attempting to distill thousands of hours of interview data into sensible processes that can lead to meaningful improvements to hiring. The platform underneath it all is early, but we're getting close to being able to scale the system to e.g. 1000 interviews per week without (hopefully) breaking a sweat.

I plan to publish these weekly, as working on this technical challenge is exhilarating (I already have enough material for a second post but it's got to wait until next week). For now, let me know what you think of my attempt to weaponise AI slop (aka "synthetic interview benchmarking").
