That's your build list, not a gap to talk around
Consider this situation: "For the 'tell me about a time you were wrong' prompt, what makes an answer strong and what's the trap?" Start with the decision, then the evidence.
Step 1 of 2
After the rapid-fire, list the prompts you had no real story for. That's your build list, not a gap to talk around. If you can't tell a genuine cost-vs-reliability story, go make the next tradeoff at work deliberately and own it, so by the loop it's lived experience instead of a hypothetical.
“I was wrong about pushing everything to Spot to cut cost - a Spot reclamation cascade took our batch tier down for 20 minutes during a peak. I'd argued the savings were worth it. The fix was a mixed instance policy with an on-demand floor and I now design Spot adoption per-tier against the SLO instead of as a blanket cost play.”
