Interviewer: What would you say is your greatest weakness?
Me: My commitment to quality. I can't stop myself from making sure I understand what's expected of me, or that I get the job done right.
Interviewer: ...how is that a weakness
Me: have you *seen* the tech industry lately. In the age of AI, doing your best work and caring about your impact is a fireable offense. That's how I lost my last job.
