Great question! Here’s how to use Interview Coder naturally without appearing to look elsewhere:
Position the App Correctly:
Use Cmd + Arrow Keys to move the Interview Coder window so it aligns with your coding area. This way, your eyes stay focused on where they’d naturally be - the code editor.
Best Practices:
- Align with IDE: Position the overlay near your code editor
- Natural reading: When reading the solution, you’re looking at the same area as your code
- Toggle wisely: Use
Cmd + Bto hide the app when explaining your solution verbally
Pro Tip:
Practice positioning the app before your interview. Find the sweet spot where you can comfortably read solutions while appearing to look at your code naturally.
