You can likely control for that, if you either interview in person or via screen sharing. (Yes, it could be faked, but that's harder.)

Yes, that's why I said, we have you explain what you "vibe coded" and then also do an actual live coding part where you have to make further changes. Via screen sharing.

The amount of people that can't even navigate "their own" code is astonishing. Never mind explaining what it does or making changes.
