How it went
The candidate was referred to Lovable for a Software Engineer position and progressed through two interview rounds. The initial conversation with a founder focused on AI and company vision rather than technical skills. The subsequent round involved an unexpected live TypeScript coding exercise with an external recruiter, which the candidate completed despite not being a TypeScript expert. The candidate believes the rejection was due to the company's need for a candidate with deeper TypeScript expertise.
