Interview Prompt

Our CI builds feel like they have been creeping slower year after year, and we want to see where that is happening repository by repository. From `ci_builds`, give the average build duration for each repository and calendar year.

Summary

Every year the builds got heavier. Find where the minutes went.

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
