GitHub SRE On-Site
Does anyone have experience with this and is willing to provide what to expect? Seems like we’ll be given some coding and remote machine debugging tasks—curious on what’s the best way to prep for these. #engineering #sre #github

Late but for future people, IME the debugging interviews usually involve using your linux knowledge to determine why some process isn't working So you'll have to check error logs, restart process / daemons, figure out why a file can't be written to, etc While I haven't done the github debugging SRE interview, this is what has been asked of me in similar interviews in the past at similar companies
What example problems have you done in the past?
Things like we need to get a web server running and serving traffic but there are issues you have to work through. For example, I did one with Robin Hood (although I did turn down the offer) which involved figuring out why nginx isn’t starting up (config error), figuring out why a cron wasn’t running, and determining why I couldn’t curl the endpoint on the nginx service
