Karavine vs 1point3acres
1point3acres is hard to beat on raw depth if you read Mandarin and don't mind grinding the points system. If you want the same kind of real, recently-asked company questions in clean English with worked solutions and the loop, Karavine is the cleaner path.
1point3acres is the largest crowd-sourced archive of tech-interview experiences, and it's a genuinely valuable resource — it's also where a lot of the internet's leaked questions originate. Its two friction points for many people: it's Chinese-first, and content is gated behind a points/karma system. Karavine is the English, curated, worked-solution take on the same idea.
