> cloning the github repo we used for our interview
Unless it's a very well-known big tech, I'm not sure I'd feel comfortable running any externally provided code during the interview. For all I know, it's RCE with potential to steal cookies and/or crypto.
- jq-r 1y agoCloning a repo and running things from it are two very different things.
- komali2 1y agoIt's a FOSS repo on github... you can just look at the code yourself. If we RCE you you can easily sue us lol. So for you, how should a company determine from 200 applicants, which one will be able to do the job best? Or at least some approximation to get down to the 5 most likely to do the job best?
- kelnos 1y agoThat seems unnecessarily paranoid. What's your threat model here?
