Grill me on this migration plan
Claude switches into interviewer mode: one pointed question at a time, following up on weak answers, branching into edge cases, and not stopping until shared understanding is reached on every open decision.
Why it earns its place
The cheapest time to find a design flaw is before implementation. A relentless interviewer surfaces the assumptions you did not know you were making: failure modes, rollback paths, scale limits, ownership questions. Twenty minutes of grilling routinely saves days of rework.
