Beat Coding Interview Anxiety with ChatGPT and Google AI Studio
Over a decade of shipping production software, distributed systems, reference architectures, complex cloud deployments and services at some great companies never stopped my stomach from knotting at the words: live coding interview. The second a whiteboard or shared editor lights up, my mind is arrested: What if I freeze? What if I blank on syntax? In that mental static I forget how English works, not to mention code.
So, I turned the latest AI tools into a private, judgment‑free test rig and set out to desensitize my nervous system the same way therapists treat phobias: repeated, controlled exposure until the fear burns off.
If that means grinding through three thousand problems with ChatGPT and Gemini watching, so be it, because I simply fucking refuse to accept this!
ChatGPT's advanced voice mode is one of my favorite features. I am currently paying them $200 a month - mostly for unlimited advanced voice.
