WritenDraw Flight Simulator for Software Developer

Created by team WriteNDraw on February 14, 2026

WritenDraw is an agentic AI simulation platform that puts junior developers through realistic production incidents to bridge the gap between learning to code and working in a real team. The core innovation is the agentic workflow: Google Gemini 2.0 Flash orchestrates the entire simulation through three autonomous agents: AGENTIC EVALUATION: Every step requires free-text responses (no multiple choice). Gemini evaluates each response against per-step rubrics, scoring reasoning 0-15. The AI adapts feedback based on accumulated performance. AGENTIC MENTORING: The AI mentor maintains persistent context, tracking understanding level, chat count, and time pressure. Early messages: patient, asks "what do you think?" By message 7+: "just write it up." The agent autonomously decides how much help to give. AGENTIC AUDIT: The system logs every response, chat message, code submission, and score — creating a complete picture of how a developer thinks through a crisis. The AI continuously assesses and adapts. The simulation drops you into a P1 incident at ShopRight (fictional UK supermarket). You join a standup, read a Jira ticket, investigate messy code with no hints, chat with the AI mentor, write a fix, respond to code review, create a deployment plan, and contribute to a retro. Paste is disabled — Key insight: explanation scores higher than code (10 vs 5 points). Wrong code with a great explanation beats perfect code with no explanation — because in real teams, communication matters as much as code. Built on the author's published research — "TrueSkills: AI-Resistant Assessment Through Personalized Understanding Validation" (SSRN, 2025, DOI: 10.2139/ssrn.5674130) — which demonstrated that AI-resistant assessment requires evaluating understanding rather than recall. WritenDraw takes this further: testing how developers think under realistic production pressure. Built with Python/Flask, Google Gemini 2.0 Flash, CodeMirror, Pyodide, and Docker.
