I admit to an honest weakness that should be irrelevant. I usually say something like "I'm not super outgoing. I get along well with people and communicate well with coworkers, but I'm not that great at schmoozing at parties and whatnot, and so you probably wouldn't want me doing sales." This may be naive on my part, but I figure most people understand that (most) software devs are introverted anyway, so this isn't really a serious concern. However, it's a fairly honest answer, unlike "I care too much" or whatever. I've considered making "My biggest weakness is that I've never come up with a satisfying answer to this question" my answer, but that would probably come off as too snarky. I agree with the parent article though. All this question does is test a minimal preparation for the interview game. Perhap's that's something, but there are better questions.
