“As a SWE, I seek to understand important context first, before jumping to build or code. First, I’d like to ask if you’ll guess randomly and fairly, or adversarially?”

“Secondly, when significant money is involved, I make sure to verify any inputs. I’m considering the situation, not you personally, untrusted. How can I verify it, or do you want me to proceed assuming that’s verified?”

Those are great questions, but it’s also about how you ask it. SWE is not pure engineering. Communications is vitally important.
