sre-interview-prep-guide VS what-happens-when

https://github.com/mxssl/sre-interview-prep-guide observing lately this repo is getting used exclusively for interviews

Here’s a good resource for SRE interview in general, but for intern/co-ops this is probably way out of scope https://github.com/mxssl/sre-interview-prep-guide

This is my favorite source: https://github.com/mxssl/sre-interview-prep-guide

https://github.com/mxssl/sre-interview-prep-guide has a trove of information that overlaps with DevOps.

Agreed!

It reminds me of:

https://github.com/alex/what-happens-when

and how many of today’s CS-degree holders would barely understand any of it. As someone who has also “grown up with all the technology”, I’ve learned and experienced all that. But as a percentage of “software engineers”, there’s fewer and fewer that do every day.

There is a pretty comprehensive answer to number 2 here

Ask them to describe what happens when you visit a website and grill them on every layer of abstraction, every implementation detail.

This is a classic interview question and it basically means "How does internet work?" It is great because it allows to check how many levels of understanding it a developer has. The answer may be quite lengthy, for example: https://github.com/alex/what-happens-when

Perhaps you will find https://github.com/alex/what-happens-when useful.
