Why I built Cla64.ai: Rethinking software engineering interviews in the age of AI

Hey Product Hunt!

I built Cla64.ai because I believe software engineering interviews should look more like actual software engineering.

Most coding interview platforms still focus on algorithm puzzles. But real engineering is about much more: understanding existing codebases, debugging issues, building features, making trade-offs, and knowing how to use AI effectively.

Cla64.ai lets you practice realistic software engineering interviews:

• Work on real codebases in a cloud-hosted VS Code environment.

• Use AI assistance, just like you would on the job.

• Solve practical engineering challenges, not just LeetCode-style puzzles.

• Get detailed feedback on your decisions, code, and problem-solving process.

I'm building this to help engineers prepare for the changing world of technical interviews, where AI is becoming part of the process.

I'd love to hear from you:

How do you think software engineering interviews should change now that AI is part of everyday development?

And if you've tried Cla64.ai, I'd really appreciate your honest feedback!
