Craft Demo: Design & Defend Your Take-Home

Problem Present a take-home project (given 3-5 days prior) and walk through its architecture, testing strategy, scalability, and trade-offs. Expect deep probing on every decision.

What's evaluated

• Engineering judgment over polish; testing and reliability thinking.
• How you handled trade-offs and what broke.
• A clear narrative: problem -> architecture -> decisions -> improvements. Be honest about shortcuts and what you'd improve, and expect questions on validating AI-generated code.
