Candidate hero-clip windows

  • 03:2503:31 — Mubarak's striking opener about coming from sales with no CS background, the emotional hook of the whole piece.
  • 22:5523:00 — The memorable 'interviewing in tech is a skill on its own' line that anchors the interview section.
  • 29:4129:46 — The playful, reassuring 'they can't come to your house' moment, warm and quotable.
  • 34:5835:04 — The heartfelt family beat about telling his folks only one-fourth of his salary, emotionally resonant.

Hero clip currently cut from candidate #1. To change it, re-run:
python pipeline/clip.py svOfJ-OPkEs --start <MM:SS> --end <MM:SS> --slug <slug>

Review checklist

  • Speaker mapping correct (HOST vs GUEST not flipped)
  • Every quoted sentence is verbatim from the transcript
  • No invented facts or quotes
  • Hero clip is the right moment, silent, loops cleanly
  • Title + description (≤155 chars) + 4–6 tags present
  • Guest name/bio + video link correct
