linear cannonevery once in a while i have a really good job interview for something i am serious about, and then i walk away worried, and then later on i realize i did several things in the interview that probably gave off a very strong and menacing aura that i can only summarize as "manic pixie unix greybeard"
example from several years ago: the high level C++ speaking interviewer's supposed "C coding exercise", a piece of broken code i was meant to fix, that was actually C++
i was like 'oh, this isn't C, this is C++, it uses references. that syntax is not in C. here, let me rewrite that into an equivalently broken C version that uses pointers, and then i'll fix it'
