But you are asking for the most interesting example, which you may remember from context, but not in any interesting or even technical detail.


Again, the subtext is "interesting example we're going to discuss".

If there's one you can't discuss for any reason (doesn't even have to be you forgot: could be an NDA) then it's already excused from the discussion.

An even half-decent interview is not adversarial: just like day to day work, it requires interpreting some level of useful subtext and some level of open communication

-

I mean, you forgot the details so it's not like it's not like you're going to start monologuing if you just touch on it: "You know, there's a real doozy from X years ago where Y but the details escape me, more recently Z happened"

If there are none that you remember that are interesting: "There aren't many interesting bugs, but there was this really interesting product requirement, could we go over that?"
