Meta Software Engineer Interview Experience — Explaining an AI System and Solving a Maze with AI

This will most likely become a rejection story. At the beginning, I was asked to introduce an AI system I had designed and explain the problem it solved. I stumbled through the explanation, and the interviewer did not seem very satisfied. I probably did not make the project sound impressive enough.

Next came AI coding. This really felt like a company going all in on AI, because everything involved AI. The problem was the familiar maze solver. It should be fairly smooth if you have prepared for it, but communication with the interviewer matters. It is also useful to practice explaining your work to the interviewer while talking with the AI at the same time.
