Interview Prompt

A migration ran overnight, and you have the table's columns from before it (`old_schema`) and after (`new_schema`), each a list of `{'name', 'type'}` dicts. Return which columns were added, which were removed, and which kept their name but changed type.

Summary

Schema from yesterday vs today. Something changed.

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
