Interview Prompt
Our retry scheduler spaces attempts by the Fibonacci sequence 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, ..., and a job configured for `n` retries needs the first `n` of those delays.
Summary
Each value is the sum of the two before it - no calls to itself allowed.
How This Interview Works
- Read the vague prompt (just like a real interview)
- Ask clarifying questions to the AI interviewer
- Write and run your Python against test cases
- Answer the interviewer's follow-up questions, then get a hire or no-hire decision
