Ask about real life

I gave a candidate a 45-minute take-home and got back code that looked like it came from a senior engineer with ten years of experience. When I asked her to walk through her own logic, she froze on the second question. Do I fail her for that or give her a shot to explain?

Three engineers disagree about whether to split up our monolith, and we’ve spent two sprints debating architecture without shipping the feature that prompted the discussion.

Our biggest prospective customer needs an integration in six weeks, but the fastest implementation would make an already fragile part of our codebase harder to change.
