Federalism is dog dicks. Instead of doing one thing one lovely, stupid way, you get it done fifty stupid, lovely ways.

The guy gave a situation of 4 threads in parallel but one of them has low priority, and he asked "what happens to the low priority thread?"
It fixes the cable.

If I remember correctly they're working at a startup (strike 1) on microservices (not always a strike, but strike 2) implemented in such a way that Mongo (strike 3) isn't the dumbest thing in it (umpire sets himself on fire).

The last time this happened to me it was all well and good before the lunch part, but when it came to the lunch part I couldn't participate in their conversations about fantasy novels and Fallout and all the other dorky poo poo they were going on about, so I eventually it was decided that I was not a Culture Fit. At least one of them audibly clenched his anus about brace placement, so probably for the best.

Also proof positive that your code grunts under management level should have limited input in the hiring process.

You might be surprised how much one follows the other. You shouldn't be, but you might.

I had one guy who joined a cult. That was fun. I was able to fob the other one off to support engineering.

I hated the admin stuff, though.

This happened to a friend of mine. Had ten years of industry but couldn't get a job at any big name company because a degree was a hard requirement in like 95% of jobs, so he went to university and landed a sick rear end position straight out.
Yeah, the industry has shifted. Instead of dealing with dropouts and mutants, you have to deal with shitheads who got their hands held through four years who can rote their way through quicksort but can't make sense of a stack trace.

It's why I hosed off out of California. It's like lawyers in Memphis.

Java, C, and C++ are my strongest languages. How likely is it that an employer would say that's good enough for an entry-level C# gig?
We prefer a B average to consider you for employment, but a C++ might be good enough. The Java experience is a plus. How much experience do you have with react dot js?

*prefers to develop in Spring, but has no on-job Spring experience to show, so takes a job developing in Bespoke Frankenframework to pay the bills*
This is almost exactly what I'm doing right now, except I bullied them into rewriting their bullshit into something workable.

So many Frankenframeworks over the years, though. So many.
