"Welcome to your software engineering interview. You have 30 seconds to build a back-end API. Go! It's actually super simple. Open VS code and fire up the terminal. What's next? Run uv init to set up a new environment. Why do we need an environment? Isolate our dependencies so we don't cause version conflicts with the rest of the system. Cool! What's next?
