Interview Prompt

What were the first three alerts each service fired, according to `alert_events`, and where does each one fall in its service's history? The on-call review team wants those alerts exactly as they were logged, every column in its original spelling.

Summary

Twenty minutes past the SLA. Still unresolved.

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
