The Terrible Technical Interview

Re:The Terrible Technical Interview by StevePerkins on Saturday March 21, 2015 @05:15PM (#9244242)

I seldom post lengthy comments on HN, and when doing so I tend to include qualifiers such as, "I know that the Bay Area is overrepresented among HN readers, and the preceding opinion is based on a perspective from elsewhere." ... "I know that 20-somethings are overrepresented among HN readers, and the preceding opinion is based on an older perspective." Etc.

Invariably, one of the top replies boils down to, "Hey! I'm a 20-something in the valley, and I see it completely different!".

Well, yeah.

I'm neither a 20-something nor in the valley. I'm (I think) older than you are, and in Chicago, which is even less of a technical hub than Atlanta.

Sorry, my remark wasn't referring to you exclusively, just noting a frequent trend. Fair enough.
