What the Interviewer Sees on CoderPad
CoderPad is a live interview tool, not a lockdown. Its “detection” is simply what a human watching your session can see:
- Live keystrokes — the interviewer watches your code appear character-by-character in real time
- Session playback — CoderPad records a replay of how the code was written
- Paste visibility — a large pasted block appears as a sudden jump, obvious in the live view and replay
- Screen share — in many rounds you also share your screen over Zoom/Meet
- Expected narration — interviewers expect you to talk through your reasoning as you go
Why Alt-Tab and Browser Extensions Fail on CoderPad
Alt-tabbing to ChatGPT is visible on your screen share, and pasting a solution shows as a sudden block in CoderPad's live view and replay. A perfect answer with no reasoning is the biggest tell of all. UFOlee avoids each: the AI sits in an overlay drawn to stay off the screen share, you type your own version with hardware keystrokes so the replay looks natural, and you narrate as normal.
How UFOlee Works with CoderPad
Treat UFOlee as a quiet reference beside CoderPad, not an autopilot:
- Launch UFOlee and log into your preferred AI (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini) before starting the test
- Open your CoderPad assessment — UFOlee runs invisibly in the background
- Press Ctrl+Shift+S to reveal UFOlee's stealth browser overlay on top of CoderPad
- Press Ctrl+Shift+A to screenshot the question and automatically attach it to your AI chat
- Read the AI-generated solution, then highlight the answer or code you need
- Press Ctrl+Shift+F — UFOlee auto-types it into CoderPad using native hardware keystrokes
- Press Ctrl+Shift+S to hide UFOlee and review your work
