Interview Prompt

Every CI run in ci_builds records its branch, its trigger and its duration. For 2026, compare merge-build activity on the long-lived main, develop and release branches: the merge-build count per branch, that same count as a decimal, and the average build duration.

Summary

How many builds came from merges?

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
