Senior Devops Engineer – Don’t ask
Yishayahu Steve Bar Yakov Gindi
I can and will do stuff from bash scripts to Python, deployments to infrastructure symphonies, my DevOps career has been a wild ride. CI/CD pipelines twist like mystery novels, while IAC turns clouds into expensive paperweights. Monitoring reminds us that despite best efforts, something always goes wrong. But hey, that’s the thrill of DevOps!

Here are questions that I cannot answer:
- Write a program that simulates an elevator
- Write application pseudo code from scratch on a whiteboard or piece of paper, but I am comfortable with similar exercises for infrastructure as code (e.g., Terraform, Helm).
- Write a program that indexes a million word book and tells what the most common word is. I was asked this twice
- Write a program that calculates the airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow
- Create an API from scratch
- find the missing number in a given integer array of 1 to 100?
- find the middle element of a singly linked list in one pass?
- How can a given string be reversed using recursion?
- How is a bubble sort algorithm implemented?
- write an algorithm that does ….
- I do know how to write automation bash scripts, like unassisted installations of everything required by docker
- I should have known how to give the lowest number in a list of numbers …. but today us AI like ChatGPT and Noagi.ai
- FURTHER, I constantly use AI tools for code generation which allows me to be more efficient and focus on higher-level tasks, whether it’s Bash, Python, or Infrastructure as Code.
