Kind of like interviewing at Google: "oh, you're a 9 in C++? let me introduce you to your interviewers for the day: Hans Boehm, Chandler Carruth, Richard Smith, and Jeffrey Yasskin. We were lucky to get them; they're off to the ISO C++ standards committee meeting tomorrow"

This would be a moronic interviewing technique, but it would also be unsurprising for Google.

I used to know some people on that committee back in the 90s.

That they knew far from the whole language taught me much about the world and my place in it.

Those guys are like Congressmen - that's a different gig form being a beat cop.
