A schedule that survives the week
Spaced repetition for coding interviews
A daily grind that restarts every Monday is not a plan. Interview prep needs a review ladder that comes back after you forget — later today, then in days, then in weeks.
The ladder, not another 300-problem list.
Spaced repetition is the decision to retrieve a pattern at expanding gaps. The first return is the same day, while the walk is still warm. The next returns sit on the forgetting curve, not on a calendar you will abandon.
LinearBits uses that ladder on rooms, not on front/back cards. You walk the room, rebuild the code notes-away, and the schedule brings the same move back before interview day is blank.
Use it on a deadline.
If the loop is in two to eight weeks, the job is retrieval of what you already solved — not a new dump of problems. Walk one room. Come back later today. Keep the meter from stopping a four-hour block if you stay.
The first room needs no account. Sign in later for the wallet. Pro is only when the free tokens would pause a study session.
A calendar you will abandon is not spacing.
A Sunday plan that lists thirty problems is a hope. Spacing is a due card: the same move, notes away, at the next gap. LinearBits puts that due on the room you already walked, not on a new title you have not retrieved.
If a Monday restart keeps happening, shorten the first return. Later today beats next week. Then let days and weeks open only after a successful rebuild.
