xAI Software Engineering Tutor Cohort Recap - Full-stack Live Coding Challenge Grok

This video is an overview for anyone who hasn’t participated in a cohort-style, timed live coding challenge and wants to understand what the format feels like in real life. I’m sharing my experience in an xAI cohort software engineering tutor session - how the challenge is structured, what you’re expected to deliver under a strict time limit, and what it’s like to code while a group is on your screen and the clock is running. I talk through the practical realities of the format: managing nerves, choosing my workflow. I also share what was allowed (and what wasn’t), how the environment affects decision-making, and how I handled tradeoffs when the UI, backend, and bulk behaviors all compete for attention. I also include follow-up reflections based on conversations afterward and my own observations about the experience. Any references to outcomes or representation are framed as personal perspective and limited-scope, not official results.
