Tell me about a time you had to ramp up on an unfamiliar technology or codebase quickly to ship something. How did you approach it?

Imagine you're asked to bake a cake using a recipe written in a language you don't understand. You'd need to quickly learn the key terms, ask a friend who knows the language, and maybe watch a video to get it right before the party starts. This question checks if you can learn fast and deliver under pressure.
