Description
Bisect brings back the async technical challenge, rebuilt. Each candidate gets a real Linux machine that boots broken and fixes it in the browser while every command is recorded. AI reads the replay against your rubric. No leetcode, no multiple choice.

Could you build this?
Partial The web UI, candidate dashboard, and LLM evaluation prompts are easy to vibe code, but provisioning and safely orchestrating secure, isolated on-demand Linux VMs with live terminal/keystroke streaming requires non-trivial infrastructure engineering.
What it would actually take: The architecture requires a microVM virtualization layer (such as Firecracker or Docker-in-Kata) managed via an orchestration agent to spin up broken machine environments per candidate in sub-seconds. Front-end terminal streaming requires WebSockets connected to ttyd/xterm.js with an asciinema-like server-side recording pipeline to capture all filesystem diffs and keystrokes safely without leaking access to host resources.

Same idea, different domain
Nobody's really built a workflow automation tool for Real estate yet.
