Scenario Highlights: Key Moments
The Crisis
Situation: Production Outage
"I would immediately roll back the deployment to restore service, then analyze logs in a staging environment."
The Friction Point
Situation: Code Review Conflict
"Dismissed valid concerns from a junior developer regarding code readability, citing 'performance' as the only metric."
The Ambiguity
Situation: Vague Requirement
"I wouldn't start coding. I'd draft a quick API contract and validate it with the PM to ensure we're aligned."
