Interview Prompt

Our services write log lines as a level, a timestamp and a message. Turn a `line` into a dict holding its level, timestamp and message under those keys.

Summary

One line. A dozen fields hidden inside.

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 Python against test cases
  4. Answer the interviewer's follow-up questions, then get a hire or no-hire decision
