Los entrevistadores quieren un compromiso deliberado y consciente del contexto — no un dogmático "siempre envía rápido" o "nunca comprometas". La clave es hacer el compromiso consciente y visible.
1. Identify what quality is non-negotiable (correctness, security, data safety)
2. Find what can be deferred (polish, edge cases, refactors)
3. Cut scope, not core quality — ship less, not worse
4. Name any debt out loud and schedule paying it down
S: We had three days to launch an MVP for a client pilot.
T: Full feature set wasn't possible without risking stability.
A: I shipped the core happy path solidly, deferred two edge cases behind a flag,
and wrote a ticket for the debt with a date. I told the client which parts
were preview-only.
R: The pilot launched on time and stable. We closed the deferred tickets the
following sprint.
✓ Conscious tradeoff, debt tracked, scope cut
✗ Shipping broken code silently to hit a date
✗ Refusing to ever bend, missing the deadline
La velocidad y la calidad suelen ser un problema de alcance disfrazado — reducir el alcance protege ambas.

Saber qué calidad es innegociable es un juicio que viene con la experiencia — es lo que los entrevistadores están investigando.
