Doing so is costly, and because many factors change at once, it is unclear what makes the new tasks harder. In this work, we instead make existing tasks harder by changing the environment in which they are performed, so that difficulty becomes a programmable property of the environment. We introduce BreakingWeb, in which each task is run twice: once on an unmodified website and once under an intervention, a controlled change to the websi
