Populating your prep

Filling everything in manually is a lot of work. The recommended approach is to paste the job description into your AI of choice and ask it to generate the content for you - topics worth researching, likely interview questions, relevant keywords, and quiz questions. Then paste it in section by section. It takes a few minutes rather than an hour.

Data

Job data is stored in data/jobs.json and is excluded from version control. Nothing leaves your machine.
