The repo only had a placeholder line for interview prep, which did not satisfy the request to display all practices and skillsets needed for 2026 tech interviews. This update turns the README into a structured, comprehensive prep guide.

  • Scope

    • Replaced the minimal README content with a full 2026 interview-prep reference.
    • Kept changes isolated to README.md (no code/config/tooling changes).
  • Interview Practices (execution-focused)

    • Added concrete practice patterns: timed coding reps, mock loop cadence, debugging drills, STAR story prep, system design rehearsal, and communication habits.
  • Required Skillsets (organized by domain)

    • Added grouped skill expectations across:
      • Core coding (DSA + complexity)
      • Software engineering fundamentals (clean code, APIs, data, concurrency)
      • System design/platform (distributed systems, reliability, cloud, security)
      • AI-era readiness (AI-assisted development, LLM feature literacy, responsible AI)
      • Collaboration/communication (tradeoff articulation, product thinking, cross-functional execution)
  • Example excerpt

    ## Practices for a 2026 Tech Interview
    - Build a 6-8 week study plan with weekly targets for algorithms, system design, and behavioral prep.
    - Practice coding interviews in timed sessions (35-45 minutes) and explain tradeoffs out loud.
    
    ## Skillset Needed for 2026 Interviews
    ### AI-Era Readiness (2026)
    - Evaluating AI-generated code for correctness, security, and maintainability.
    - Practical understanding of LLM-enabled features, embeddings, and retrieval patterns.
