We used Claude Agent SDK to make Claude Tutor.

This is v0.1 so it's hella early.Ps. Next step is to get this...

I run Hardware Meetup (40+ cities) and many hardware startups are looking for software engineers but are having a hard time figuring out fit.So I built this over a couple weeks to see if past projects could work better.The flow:1. You add your best GitHub repo2. It reviews your code and scores it 1-100 with actual feedback3. Reviews your LinkedIn for experiences in building and project history...

that is our main goal. how to get this to be more honest and supportive in specific roles/projects

goal was not rage bait. actually trying to find ways to build something useful

thanks for the feedback!

this is our first launch like this, so our main objective is to see what people think

why 5min? in early tests with users people liked the shorter challenges than the longer ones

good feedback for more depth and more learning interaction.

this is v1 and definitely more areas to improve to make it less useless

thanks for the feedback. we're trying to generate questions on the spot, and have more ways to improve here

good feedback! easy to increase the timer and support for what gets checked

initial goal was make it as easy as possible for someone to try, and in early tests, people liked the quick challenge

and hear you on misuse. initial goal was a playful way to help people looking. not designed for on the job reviews

We built this to answer "am I a fit for this role?"after noticing how hard it is to get honest feedback when applying to a YC startup or something else entirely.It's a custom 5-minute challenge that roasts you after.Added a leaderboard for those who want to see how they stack up.Roast us below.
