An MSP just onboarded a client's 'new electrical engineer' who's building a webapp. He demanded 'full access to the servers.' Didn't know what Fortinet was. Never heard of virtualization. Asked to log in locally to a Linux VM. Couldn't answer whether he needed Nginx, Apache, or IIS. Never heard of OWASP. Said he's 'using AI to write the program.' This guy has admin credentials now. Your client hired someone who can prompt ChatGPT but can't secure a web form.

Technical competency verification for the AI-assisted hiring era. Not a coding test — a 'do you understand what you're building?' check. Short, conversational assessment covering fundamentals: networking basics, security concepts, how web servers work, what they're deploying and why. Results in plain English for non-technical hiring managers: 'This candidate can prompt AI tools but cannot independently evaluate or secure the output.'
