Honestly I can see this being the worlk of someone who had to deal with one of those stupid fucking online interview code tests which require crazy screen monitoring permissions. What a better way to kill off that trend entirely than to make the very practice an active cyber-security risk?

Accelerationism is a very difficult thing to defend, though mostly because the evil shits of the world will keep pushing once most people wake up to how shitty everything is. Helping them to make things shitty is quite directly only helping shitheads further their goals.

My company has a strict policy against take home coding challenges. If we want to see you code, we'll do the challenge live, open book (just tell us what you're looking up).

Bad candidates cheat on those tests, and good candidates don't have the patience, so they're worthless. If you're applying for a job and they have a take home coding challenge, your time is probably better spent elsewhere.

Shit like that would run in a VM. At 640x480 in 16 colors with the max font size and cursor trails.
