The Interview Overhaul: The Interview Should Look Like the Job

Senior engineering interviews still revolve around whiteboard puzzles that the job never asks for, and AI has now made the puzzle worthless as a signal. A hiring manager who also builds recruiting software and recently sat on the candidate side lays out the case for work-sample loops that mirror the actual role, and a concrete protocol for running them.

Building a Production Async Agent Queue in TypeScript with Bun and Mistral Work Mode: A 2026 Tutorial

An end-to-end tutorial for engineers shipping long-running coding agents in production. We build a TypeScript queue on Bun that submits agent jobs to Mistral Le Chat Work mode and OpenAI background mode, polls or receives webhooks for completion, enforces per-job cost ceilings, and exposes a small status dashboard — the operating model behind the new async-coding paradigm.
