Interview Prompt
You're triaging a batch of raw Nginx access logs and want two rollups out of them: how many times each HTTP status code appears, and every unique resource path that was hit.
Summary
A pile of raw access logs, and two numbers that matter hiding inside the quotes.
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
