  2. 2Explaining how something worksStart with a simple picture, add one technical layer, then ask how deep they want to go.
  3. 3Talking about trade-offs and decisionsGive a clear choice, say what you gave up, and say what would change your mind.
  4. 4Debugging war storiesTell a bug story with a clear symptom, how you narrowed it down, and what changed after.
  5. 5Follow-ups you can only half answerSay where your experience ends, then reason out loud from what you do know.
