You now have the coding skills for SRE interviews.
Key areas:
- Python: file I/O, data structures, standard library
- Log parsing: regex, Counter, line-by-line processing
- API interactions: requests library, error handling
- Bash: quick scripts, text processing pipelines
- Go: awareness of syntax and use cases
SRE coding focus:
- Practical automation over algorithmic puzzles
- Error handling and edge cases
- Clear, maintainable code
- Testing awareness
Practice: Write real scripts. Parse your own logs. Automate tasks you do manually. Real practice beats LeetCode grinding for SRE roles.
