Tell me about a time you caused or handled a production incident. How did you respond in the moment, communicate, and prevent it from recurring?

Imagine you're cooking a big dinner for friends and accidentally burn the main dish. You don't hide it—you tell everyone, figure out a quick fix (like ordering pizza), and later figure out why it burned (oven too hot) so it never happens again. This question checks if you can handle real pressure, communicate honestly, and learn from mistakes.
