Has anyone incorporated a vibe coding test (yes, I'm 100% serious) into an interview process?. If so, I'd love to hear from you and how you evaluated the candidate. The way that folks wield Cursor or alternatives vary wildly across candidates.

Now the people who **have** to understand how things work but can still move very quickly via AI coding and ways to keep it under control? I love watching them cook. @clairevo and friends come to mind immediately.

In my opinion, seeing how someone filters out AI slop while obsessively maintaining control over what they produce is very telling. You can see who just accepts BS without understanding how things work.

This single Cursor rule dramatically reduces AI Slop code. - Do NOT prematurely optimize. Start simple, ship something that works reliably, then iterate based on real usage. KISS and YAGNI. My Cursor mentions it *constantly* when it writes docs and generates less slop!.
