“I fumbled this a bit.”
“Looks easy until you start coding it up.”
“I rambled a bit.”
“Bread and butter problem.”
“This is one of those questions where everyone has a story but most stories are bad.”
“I started with the data pipeline and content ingestion layer, which felt right, but then I got lost trying to define what 'fake' actually means at scale.”
“I had a story ready but I think I leaned too hard into what went wrong and not enough on what I actually did about it.”
“I went straight to segmentation and probably moved too fast.”
“Starting with broken tests instead of a blank slate threw me off more than I expected.”
