Show HN: Stealth Interview

Coding interviews are broken.

They're a gatekeeping ritual that has NOTHING to do with actual software engineering. We're forced to memorize obscure data structures and algorithms we'll never use, while being watched like lab rats through screen-sharing.

I got fed up and built Stealth Interview - an undetectable AI assistant that works during technical interviews. It runs silently in the background while you're screen-sharing on Zoom or any other platform. The interviewer sees nothing, but you get the help you need.

THIS is the only way you game the system, because the game is rigged.

This is leveling the playing field.

Real engineers use Google, Stack Overflow, and AI tools every day. Recruiters use AI to screen you out or look for Ivy League grads who barely got any experience but inverting trees in CS102.

We're witnessing the demise of the Leetcode era. Companies are slowly realizing these artificial puzzles don't predict job performance. Until they all catch up, Stealth Interview is here to help you get past these arbitrary barriers.

I built this out of frustration, but also hope - for a future where we judge engineers by what they build, not how they perform in high-pressure algorithm recitals.

I absolutely respect your frustration and where you're coming from, but I'm not convinced that deceiving interviewers using AI is a good avenue forward. For one thing, a tool like this would be very appealing to an "Ivy League grad who barely got any experience" (to use your words) with disposable income, probably more than it would to an experienced programmer. If your argument is that inexperienced programmers do _better_ than experienced ones in coding interviews, I think data to back that up would be very helpful. And (to a lesser extent) if the company _really_ only evaluates you based on your ability to invert a tree, then you may not want to work there anyway because of the quality of engineers they hire.

Anyway, the product looks very well designed! I'm curious to hear your thoughts.
