First Technical Round : Backend Software Engineer - Defense type of problems?

I see a lot of advice related to the Karat round for Palantir, but it looks like its being done on a hackerrank codepad... what sort of problems should I brush up on?

so i got tired of my own complaining and built a thing

a while back ago i posted asking if anyone else was drowning in session data they never actually look at, fullstory, posthog, whatever, and whether automating the first pass would even be useful or if the real problem was just nobody prioritizing it

the responses kind of convinced me to just build the thing and see

so i did. been using it as an internal tool with a couple of engineers on my team for a while now (they didn't really have a choice tbh) and it's been useful enough that i figured i'd clean it up and put it out there

you drop in an short screen recording or a exported event log (PostHog, Mixpanel, GA4, custom JSON) and it gives you a plain-english breakdown, rage clicks, drop-off points, friction patterns along with timestamps you can click to, that kind of thing

you can also export it to pdf, no account needed to try it

curious if it holds up for anyone outside my team

lwk was thinking maybe adding some batch processing to detect patterns over say like 50 videos, but just want input before i have it generate 50 mid reports at a time 😭

been doing UX/frontend work for about 4 years now and i keep running into the same situation at every company i've been at

we have session data. posthog, fullstory, hotjar, whatever. the data is there. and then it just... sits there. nobody watches the recordings. nobody digs into the events. the PM is busy, there's no dedicated UX researcher, and me actually sitting down to manually go through sessions is never the priority vs shipping the next thing.

so we end up making design decisions based on vibes and whatever the loudest stakeholder said in the last meeting.

my question is how do you guys actually handle this gap? like when you have session data but no bandwidth to properly analyze it, what do you do? do you just accept that some friction is going to go unnoticed? do you have a system?

i've been thinking about whether there's a way to automate the first pass like something that just reads the event log and tells you "hey users are rage clicking this button" or "there's a consistent drop off happening here" in plain english so at least you have a starting point for the actual design work

is that even useful or would you just not trust something like that? genuinely asking because i go back and forth on whether the problem is the analysis or just that nobody prioritizes looking at the data in the first place
