The Skill Nobody Tests For

This does seem like an interesting idea. I'd wonder what the evaluation looks like?

Does it just look at code quality? Or does it also incorporate some amount of apparent skill shown w/ prompting/managing an agent?

1) Completion. There are still many tasks that can't be solved with a basic prompt.

2) Correctness. Subtle mistakes the AI might have missed, did you get it to handle edge cases? Did it break something else in the background?

3) Quality. This one is still a little handwavy, but there are a number of heuristics that you can use. These don't work across the board but you can design problems in a way that some solutions are clearly cleaner than others.

I would also encourage you to look at: https://github.com/anthropics/original_performance_takehome

It's a good example of the types of challenges we're working on.

This is an ad.

Nothing inherently bad about that, but just FYI.

my brother in christ please take pity on my lack of backlinks. that said i do genuinely believe this, which is why i wrote it, and also want to hear the opinion of others (so i can make something useful).
