Why Most Developers Struggle in Interviews


Most developers don’t fail because they don’t know syntax.

They fail because their fundamentals are scattered.

You learn SQL from one place,
Java from another,
HTML/CSS from somewhere else…

But when it’s time for:

  • writing real queries
  • answering interview “why” questions
  • solving practical problems

things don’t connect.

Example
You know SQL GROUP BY, but:

  • you can’t explain execution order
  • you confuse WHERE vs HAVING
  • MCQs feel tricky
  • interview questions feel unpredictable

Same story with:

  • Java (you know keywords, not reasoning)
  • HTML/CSS (layout works, concepts don’t click)

The real gap isn’t content.
The gap is practice + thinking + explanation together.

That’s the approach we’re trying to build at Quipoin:

  • 📘 Tutorials that explain why, not just how
  • 🧠 MCQs that test understanding, not memorization
  • 🛠️ Exercises that force you to think like a developer
  • 🎯 Interview questions based on real-world scenarios

SQL, Java, HTML, CSS — same learning pattern everywhere:
concept → example → exercise → MCQ → interview thinking

No shortcuts.
No hype.
Just fundamentals done right.

Curious how others here practice concepts deeply (not just watch/read)?
Would love to hear what actually worked for you 👇
