And most importantly, don't let yourself get into the habit of copy pasting the value

I wonder if your could print some non visible characters in there to taint the copied value in some detectable way.

Prompt in words, but expect the value in numbers, eg: "Twenty-five" and the box requires you to type "25"? At least this specific case, it would require you to type it.

Tech is like any other human endeavor. People talk. People change jobs and still like the people in the place they left.

Yes exactly. Which is why I wouldn't touch anyone who has no criticism for the systems OR culture of a place they've been before. Nowhere is perfect. If people can't be honest about the flaws then they're useless.

Of course you can hire whomever you want. I would hire someone who has criticism about what he had done in the past and what they have learned. Nobody is perfect. But people with no self reflection blaming others and their employer? No thank you.
