I built a CLI-first pipeline that turns a @Wikipedia article into a complete video with a single command. Open source: github.com/NPgreatest/Wiki2V… It integrates modern AI APIs (e.g. @OpenAI or @Google) to support the entire workflow end to end. There’s also a Google Colab notebook for running the entire pipeline end to end without any local setup (linked in the GitHub repo).

The coding workflow has officially evolved in 2025: 1.get a feature idea 2.throw it at an LLM to turn it into a “formal prompt” 3.let cursor or codex build the whole feature 4.test it once 5.if it works… I absolutely refuse to read the code — until it crashes spectacularly We’re no longer engineers. We’re product managers with trust issues.

I’m building a video-generation product and wondering: What’s the most universally accepted multi-model API key these days? OpenAI or Google (LLM, TTS, image, video)

This fall I went through the toughest job-hunting season of my life. 7 interviews. 7 rejections. A full “new-grad rejection combo.” I interviewed across Databricks, Stripe, TikTok, Together AI, Scale AI, and more — and still ended up with almost nothing except a Meta return offer

I wrote a long, honest breakdown of each interview — what went wrong, what surprised me, and what actually matters in this market. If you're an international student, or going through NG recruiting right now, I think this might help you feel less alone.

But the real story is not the rejections — it’s what I learned: correctness ≠ offer “vibe mismatch” is real English microsignals matter more than we admit product philosophy mismatch kills more candidates than coding Every new grad needs their own personal engineering moat.
