I mean, you do you, but I'm not sure how to take this. Maybe I'm a master debugger, but a lot of the problems I run into and debug tend to reoccur, sometimes in different circumstances, sometimes in the same circumstances (which can be amazingly frustrating, but...).

Remembering and being able to tell the narrative about how I figured out why something that people like to do is a really bad idea is very helpful to convince people not to repeat the mistakes of the past when they aren't receptive to "trust me, this is a bad idea and we shouldn't do it" or "if you do that, let me know when you undo it, otherwise don't call me"

Personally, I don't have any skill at giving this kind of story time interview question, so I don't. But it does seem concerning to me if someone has 5-10 years of software experience and can't articulate any debugging stories. How were you working where you never ran into a problem that took you/your team 2 weeks of pain to figure out?
