Question

You need a nightly ETL pipeline that pulls events from an S3 export, dedupes and enriches them, and loads a Snowflake analytics table other teams depend on. How would you break this into agent-delegatable pieces? Which parts do you delegate, which do you own, and where do the human checkpoints sit?

What a strong answer looks like

Treat the AI’s output as a draft to verify, not an answer to trust. Name the specific flaw and the input that triggers it, say how you’d catch it — tests, edge cases, reading critically — and how you’d re-prompt or decompose to get it right.

Describe your solution

Vibe coding: describe the solution in plain language (or narrate it) and the coach grades your approach. Generating runnable code from your description is coming next.

Run or narrate your approach, then ask the coach.
