We roast filler TV, then discover that “stupid” interview questions can reveal real judgment, curiosity and systems thinking. Fast riffs, real signals, and a few traps worth dodging.
• filler vs substance across anime and long-running TV
• appliance question as a proxy for work style
• estimation puzzles as a reasoning display
• survival in a conference room as constraint testing
• animal challenge mapped to role traits and nuance
• encoding a phone number without digits as creative constraints
• alien-on-the-team as an AI trap question
• pancake stacks as risk and failure-mode thinking
• motivation beyond email and noise
If you heard any of those questions and had better answers than we do, post them in the corporate strategy channel of our corporate strategy discord. You can get there by checking your show notes and clicking the link tree that has all of the things.
