Original Summary

Hi, After screening a bunch of junior dev resumes recently, I noticed almost everyone has the exact same three projects: A MERN stack e-commerce site A Netflix or Spotify UI clone Face detection with OpenCV The real issue isn't that they built them. The issue is that most juniors just follow a 6-hour YouTube tutorial, get it working on localhost, and have no idea what happens when things break in production. The second an interviewer asks something like: "What happens if two users try to checkout the last item at the exact same millisecond?" or "Why MongoDB over Postgres for this data model?" They completely freeze up because the tutorial never covered concurrency, database locking, or failure states. To help people spot these blind spots before facing a real interview panel, I spent the weekend building a small web tool: Project BS Detector. How it works: You enter your project title and a quick 1-line description. It runs through DeepSeek with a prompt tuned to act like a cynical hiring manager. It calculates a "BS Risk" score, points out why it looks like a tutorial clone, and generates the exact technical trap questions you are likely to get grilled on. It also provides 5 defense angles so you actually have a structured architectural answer ready. Tech Stack: - Next.js (App Router) - Tailwind CSS - DeepSeek API (JSON output mode) - Web Audio API (for optional voice mock simulation) Live Link (Free, no credit card required): https://novomock.com/project-bs-detector Would love your thoughts on the UX and how accurate the roasting feels. If you test your current or past side projects, drop your score and the trap question it generated below!   submitted by   /u/Charming-Letter-4117 [link]   [comments]
