we used to conduct an interview where you had to log in to a linux VM that we’d “pre-broken” with a handful of obvious footguns (disk full, wrong perms, etc etc) and we had to stop running it because opus 4.6-era could one-shot it

oh I did that for k8s! vcluster on a very small cloud VM and gave the candidate a public key and told them to identify and fix everything going wrong in the cluster. that too was very easily thwarted unfortunately and we had to stop doing it. sad about that, it was a great competence filter.
