Could you build this?

Partial The contest management UI, scoring, and leaderboards are easy to vibe-code, but a secure, isolated, high-concurrency judging engine is a hard systems problem.

What it would actually take: The stack would be a standard web app (e.g., Postgres plus a job queue) with a judging service. The hard part is sandboxing untrusted code with strong isolation (namespaces, seccomp, gVisor or Firecracker-style microVMs) and scaling it to bursts of concurrent submissions. That requires backend and security/infrastructure engineering, not just prompting.
