Logistics - the part candidates forget
Recall the main items in "Logistics - the part candidates forget", then connect each one to the work.
Step 1 of 2
Logistics - the part candidates forgetConfirm before the loop, not during
- Confirm the per-stage AI policy with your recruiter. Which rounds permit Cursor and AI tools and for what - targeted queries only or full build access. Do not guess on the day.
- Be fluent in Cursor live. If you'll build in it, rehearse until inline edits, agent runs and accepting/rejecting diffs are reflexive - a fumbled tool is a self-inflicted wound in an AI-native loop.
- Have your environment ready. A scratch repo, a SQL sandbox and your spine stories in a doc you won't actually read from.
The honest gut-check
Add your scores. Below 4 on 'AI authenticity' or 'why Cursor' is the most expensive gap, because those are the two things this loop is uniquely built to test and the two you cannot fake in the room.
