Your question is Balancing Technical Debt and Deadline. 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).
Tell me about a time you had to manage a significant technical debt issue while still meeting a tight client deadline. How did you decide what to fix immediately, what to defer, and how did you communicate the trade-offs to both your team and stakeholders?
