Module 8 / Lesson 8.1

The Interview Map

Map senior-backend interview claims to the exact commits, tests, ADRs, docs, and articles that prove them.

Concept

The last module turns the course into a portfolio artifact. Each interview answer has a path back to code, tests, transcripts, ADRs, or articles, so the learner can speak from evidence.

Task

  1. Create INTERVIEW.md as a standalone artifact.
  2. Render the same map on the course site.
  3. Link every entry to a concrete repo path or article.
  4. Confirm the course path marks the full series complete.

Run

npm run verify:m7
npm run build

Expected Result

  • The interview page renders.
  • Every entry has at least one concrete artifact link or path.

Common Traps

  • Writing generic interview prep that could belong to any repo.
  • Claiming cross-database support without linking the two strategies.
  • Forgetting observability and shipping in the final map.

Hint Ladder

Hint 1

The answer is the shortest part; the artifact link is the proof.

Hint 2

Keep the standalone Markdown useful even if the site is unavailable.

Hint 3

Interview confidence comes from being able to open the test.

Solution

See INTERVIEW.md and /interview.
