Interview Prompt

The code quality team wants to spotlight commits whose messages carry real detail, judged against the typical message on the repo. From the commit log, list the commits whose message is longer than the average message length, with the author, the message and its length, longest first.

Summary

Some commit messages tell a novel.

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
