Anthropic and Resolution Abolished Take-Home Coding Tests as AI Makes Them Cheatable
BlackHC · x · 2026-10-12
In a discussion about hiring in the AI era, @BlackHC notes that Anthropic and Resolution have abolished take-home assignments for performance engineer roles.
Commenters point to the core problem: with vibe coding, candidates can easily complete take-homes, and the real cheaters excel at passing the work off as their own — a mediocre candidate might score 60/100 while AI-assisted fabrication is hard to detect, undermining the signal take-homes once provided.
