These past months, I've seen several social media posts about people getting scammed during coding challenges or take-home tests. The cases usually involve cloning a GitHub repository that claims to contain the coding challenge and being asked to run the code, which actually contains malware or steals your data.

Do you have any advice on how to protect ourselves from this? Are there any recommended tools to scan such code? Is regular antivirus software sufficient?

I've seen several suggestions, such as always running this type of code in a VM or emulator. However, I think this solution only isolates the environment. Ideally, we need a way to determine if the code is malicious so we can decide to abandon the interview if it already seems suspicious.

Hey HN!

I just want to share my weekend project. So a couple days ago I read an article here about Quadratic Voting, and I'm really interested to implement it myself. After some browsing I found only a couple other poling websites which used QV, but I found that their interfaces less intuitive. So I created https://puaspoll.com . Its very simple, but I think it could be a fresh approach compared to many similar polling website/apps. Let me know what you think!

Best regards
