Ask HN: Best tool for autonomous quick coding assessments?
We place 100s of software development students in internships in the Nordics, and are looking for a way to perform a basic coding skill assessment before matching an intern with a company.
Unfortunately the schools submit to us some students who cannot write code and who will claim otherwise in their written applications, and we find out about this at the latest when the intern is in a real project and unable to perform at all.
The goal of this light-weight assessment would be to simply answer the question: *can this intern read an assignment and proactively write some code?*
So the assessment should have: - a built-in editor - a time limit, like 1 hour - detecting the use of AI / massively copy-pasting from another window to the editor - live preview of the result, e.g. a React UI the intern completed based on instructions
What we don't need/want: - live interview scenario with a supervisor - a full interview (just one assignment per student)
Any suggestions of tools to use? Experiences?
I just submitted for a demo with Coderpad but don't really know where else to look.
