Lesson 5: Tell me about a disagreement with a teammate

1. Tell me about a time you disagreed with a teammate.
During a code review, a teammate and I disagreed about how to structure a new service.
He wanted to keep everything in one big service, while I preferred splitting it into smaller parts.
We went back and forth for a while before finding a middle ground.

2. How did you handle the disagreement?
I asked him to walk me through his reasoning instead of just pushing my own idea.
It turned out he was worried about the extra complexity of managing multiple services.
Once I understood that, it was easier to find a solution we both agreed on.

3. What was the outcome?
We decided to split the service into two parts instead of five, which was a compromise.
It kept things simple enough for him while still solving my performance concerns.
Looking back, the final design was actually better than either of our original ideas.

4. How do you usually give feedback during code review?
I try to explain the reason behind my comment, not just point out the problem.
I also try to ask questions instead of giving direct orders.
That way, it feels more like a discussion than a criticism.

5. How do you receive feedback on your own code?
I try not to take it personally, even if the comment feels blunt.
I usually ask for an example if I don't understand the suggestion.
In the end, most feedback has made my code better.
