Interview Prompt

We want to know which service and severity pairings in our `alert_events` log generate the most on-call noise. Show the alert count for each pairing.

Summary

Some services and severities light up more than others.

How This Interview Works

  1. Read the vague prompt (just like a real interview)
  2. Ask clarifying questions to the AI interviewer
  3. Write and run your SQL against a real database
  4. Answer the interviewer's follow-up questions, then get a hire or no-hire decision
