Interview Coder has had MULTIPLE user data security breaches

Interview Coder is a vibe coded tool built by a 19 year old. ULTRACODE offers enterprise grade security without a single data or privacy leak EVER.

Interview Coder has a long history of lying to users

Interview Coder’s founders have a long history of lying. Their CEO recently came under fire for lying about their revenue and user numbers

Pretty much every post in their official subreddit is a lie with moderators banning anyone who points out the obvious detection issues with their product 

Interview Coder’s main marketing strategy is posting detailed fake interview summaries on r/InterviewCoderHQ and claiming they got the offer using Interview Coder
