Your question is Balance Delivery and Engineering Health. Take a moment with it on the right.
Talk me through your thinking if you like. When you're confident, submit your answer and I'll grade it like a real screen (7/10 or better passes).
You are leading an engineering team under pressure to ship a high-visibility customer-facing initiative. At the same time, the team is carrying meaningful technical debt, reliability issues, and developer workflow pain that will slow future delivery if left unaddressed. You need to make progress on the near-term commitment without letting long-term engineering health quietly deteriorate.
How do you balance short-term delivery pressure with long-term engineering health?
