Since then, she has coached hundreds of students into their first tech roles. She breaks down why โ€œfollow your passionโ€ is bad career advice, how she applied to the same role ten different ways, and why depth of specialization โ€” not just the ability to prompt โ€” is what will matter most in an AI-driven industry.

A broken questionnaire costing real money, a production bug impossible to reproduce locally, and an end-to-end testing rollout the team fought back on. What he's missing has nothing to do with experience โ€” and everything to do with how he tells it. Three changes. One session. Watch it happen in real time. Steve Huynh coaches him live through every story.

Steve Huynh, a former Amazon principal engineer who conducted nearly a thousand interviews as a bar raiser, coaches Dhruv live on the three things holding him back: decoding what the interviewer is actually asking, picking stories that land at L6, and packaging them so the interviewer can capture his signal before the debrief.

Now a solo builder, he breaks down the monthly growth test that told him when to quit, why learning to lose control as a manager made him a better AI orchestrator, and why true vibe coders will always hit a ceiling without real engineering experience underneath them.
