Most recent hire per department
For each department that has employees, return the most recently hired person. Give `department`, `name` and `hired_on`, ordered by department name. If two people were hired the same day, return both.
What a strong answer looks like
Say what the query is meant to return before you write it, and name the shape of the answer: how many rows, grouped by what. Then watch the NULLs and the duplicates, because that is where most of these are lost.
Run onlyA query runs as one statement, so there is nothing to step through. Run it and read the rows.
