I think we genuinely need this to raise the bar on interview standards much higher. Especially using Rust which LLMs are very clumbsy with getting correct with one shot.

Just make this as the next standard for tech interviews by using Rust this time.

It's a change we'd love to see taking place.

We are aware of tech teams that use our challenges instead of LeetCode style questions for interviewing. We run our interviews using this system. Candidates seem to enjoy the experience, and it's much harder to "fake".

There are two main challenges today:

* Interviewers themselves are used to the standard format — they have answers for, a way to benchmark, tools they're familiar with over years, etc.

* While much harder to "cheat" on these challenges (since there are so many touch-points), offering these as take-homes might be lengthy for some engineers.

If you were in our place, what would you try to do for increasing adoption (whether for hiring or learning)?
