To Escape The Shackles Of The Old Forums, We Must Reject The Tribal Negativity He Endorsed
I got over the nervousness pretty quickly, but I've had a bunch of interviews where I spend an hour or two talking to them and at the end all that I've concluded is that they aren't total idiots. Giving people oppontunities to convince me that I'd never want to work with them is easy, but actually assessing the people that don't shoot themselves in the foot is definitely an important skill that I have not yet acquired.

He made millions off his Microsoft stock (where he helped make DirectX a thing) and his life has been entirely defined by those few years.

If you want someone to write code then don't ask them to solve a math problem. My answer to the question as stated would be "with a calculator" or "with pencil and paper" because it's an easy algebra homework problem.

Asking people to spend more time lying to you only catches the bad liars. There are a lot of people that can spend a long time talking about what other people on their team did as if it was them without getting tripped up.

Then thats #define class struct
And it should always work.
It's UB if you include any standard library headers afterwards, and members of classes are allowed to have different name mangling from members of structs. The compiler could also decide to lay out the sections differently.

In C++? A surprising amount!

Yeah, things which sound like useless C++ trivia turn out to be relevant far more often than you'd hope.
