An interviewer today asked me “what would engineers who’ve worked with you in the past say *sucks* about working with Ben”.

I answered that in the past I’ve been told I’m grumpy, direct, don’t make time for small talk, and expect people to have answers on hand.

If you’ve worked with me in the past, what would you say sucks about working with me?

Feel free to DM me : )

@genlevel that's an interviewer being oh so fucking clever. The correct answer is "ask them".

@kauer have you worked with me in the past? If not, I’m not sure I asked for your opinion.

@genlevel bad, baaad typo. Shoulda read "interviewer". Sorry!

@kauer no, I just disagree with you, I’d rather respond with humility and give the interviewer some grace
