Curious to know:

- does the company provide the harness and specific model for this? Or the interviewee use whatever they have access to? If they don't do a good job, is it the fault of the harness or the model or the interviewee not knowing how to fully utilise the harness and model or alternative harnesses and models?

- if every interviewee uses different harnesses and models, how does the company ensure that it's a fair comparison between interviewees for the same role?

- will the interviewer go through all lines in the code generated or let AI do it?

Very curious to know more about this, regarding PMTiles:

> Unfortunately, making range requests in 80 GB files just doesn't work in production. It is fine for files smaller than 500 MB, but it has terrible latency and caching issues for full planet datasets.

Wondering which part incurs the latency here.
