1. Pick an example from work where a coworker exhibited the behavior and you're intimately aware of the details
2. Pick an example from work that didn't go the way Amazon would have wanted it, but fantasize about how it could have. I think those who've worked long enough have plenty of tales to tell that didn't quite happen that way in reality, but make for a better narrative. Just adopt one of those. Do you think most of the comments people post on HN with experiences from their workplace are 100% accurate? Do you think they needed to spend a lot of time crafting that narrative? No.[1]
Both of these don't even require much prep.
