Riassunto

One round of your next interview may hand you an AI — and score how you use it.

Most candidates walk into that round believing the test is whether they can finish. It isn't. The scorecard has four lines, and finishing is barely on one of them. Interviewers are watching whether you read the code before you touched it, whether you knew which parts to hand over and which to keep, whether you checked what came back, and whether you can explain a line you didn't write. Candidates fail that round while producing working code — and leave with no idea what went wrong.

AI-Assisted Coding Interviews is training for a skill you cannot practise anywhere else. No site drills being scored on judgment under a sixty-minute clock. So this book builds the room: four scored mock rounds in the real three-phase shape — a fix, a build, and an optimisation — each an annotated hour you read along with, scoring the candidate against the same rubric the interviewer uses, before you see the verdict.

Inside, you'll find:

• The four-signal scorecard — what interviewers actually weigh, and why "I finished it" barely appears on it
• The three-minute read — how to orient in a codebase you have never seen, and find the planted defect before you touch anything
• The delegation ladder — a rule for what to hand over and what to keep, decided before the clock is running
• The review pass — five checks, in order, that catch the answer which looks right and is quadratic
• The defence test — how to explain code you didn't write when the interviewer points at one line and asks why
• Four scored mock interviews — complete hours with original codebases, marked against the rubric, with the interviewer's verdict held back until you have scored it yourself
• 170+ guided drills with answers — bug hunts, cost diagnoses, and defend-this-line prompts, every one with a worked answer at the end of its chapter
• What to do when AI is banned — the map of allowed, banned, and unstated rounds, and the habits that carry either way

For working engineers with an interview on the calendar, for the strong coder who refuses to use these tools and is quietly losing offers because of it, and for anyone who suspects the round has changed and nobody sent the memo.

Nobody is checking whether you used AI. They are checking whether you can defend the result.
