Pad.new February 18, 2022 1 Minute Read [Product Updates](https://coderpad.io/blog/product-updates/) You can now save yourself several clicks by instantly creating a blank pad in a new browser window. Just type in [pad.new](https://app.coderpad.io/sandbox) and you’ll go straight to our sandbox. And if you need a code sandbox to play around and test some ideas in a compiled programming language right in your browser, we have shortcuts for those too: - [cpp.new](https://cpp.new) (C++) - [kotlin.new](https://kotlin.new) (Kotlin) - [objc.new](https://objc.new) (Objective C) - [python.new](https://python.new) (Python) These shortcuts are great for quickly prototyping since the alternative is often a tedious and convoluted local setup environment. No need for compiler flags here–it’s code-and-run right from the bat. Of course, if you’re pre-scheduling interviews, starting from [your dashboard](https://app.coderpad.io/dashboard/pads) is still the route lots of folks prefer. But this shortcut makes for a quick and easy way to jump into a live interview when needed. Where did the .new domains come from? Google. They keep a list of all the .new domains and what they create that you can [check out here](https://whats.new/shortcuts/). ## Learn how to run front-end developer interviews that don’t suck [Read our guide](https://coderpad.io/blog/interviewing/5-tips-for-interviewing-frontend/) ## Subscribe for more CoderPad insights ## Trending Articles Previous slide Next slide [Product Updates ## Your Question Bank Is Leaking.

So teams are improvising, a shared question bank, a busy engineer’s spare 20 minutes, and last year’s assessment recycled one more time. It feels fine butt isn’t.

We Built for What Comes Next. AI has fundamentally changed how engineers work. It’s not a tool candidates might use anymore. It’s embedded in how code gets written, reviewed, and shipped every day.
