Later, I had a second call with another engineer where I solved a programming-style question. The overall feel was consistently skeptical and probing, with lots of follow-ups that forced me to justify both my technical thinking and the story behind my answers. On one call, I noticed the questioning could feel a bit like it was reading from a script, and it didn’t always connect back to how I was thinking through
