FDE Interview Guide

How the loop actually works, and what the first 90 days punish. Free. Not a job guarantee. Not an AI course. Not a placement.

Not a public PDF dump as the product. Join the waitlist so we can send revisions when practitioners land. Until there is a backend, download the v1 markdown or copy it.

What v1 contains

Who is hiring on this freeze. The job loop the JDs describe. Judgment and the playbook. Customer and stakeholder. A four-slide portfolio. First 90 days labeled as our working OS, inferred from first-pod language. Twelve quotes with URLs.

We do not invent interview stories. We do not invent a named-company loop. We do not add this 88 to any other census.

If you already ship production software and have sat with a user, a buyer, or a messy stakeholder, this is for you. If you want to be taught Python, models, or prompting, it is not.
