Technical interviews via Codespaces

This post details the adoption of GitHub Codespaces to standardize the development environment for technical interviews. It addresses the problem of candidates struggling with outdated or inconsistent local development setups by providing a pre-configured, cloud-based environment. The solution leverages VS Code's Remote Containers technology to create predictable, containerized environments that can be spun up quickly from a repository. This eliminates environment setup as a hurdle, ensuring candidates can focus on the technical exercise itself and improving the signal obtained from interviews.
