Comment on Interviews Can Be a Terrible Way to Identify Good Programmersparent

Comments

Same here. To compensate, I load my memory up with "interesting" anecdotes for interviews. Including my most embarrassing moment, which luckily happens to center around a bug. (Failing that, I'd probably grab a recent bug and dress it up to be interesting. I guess you can always riff about techniques which prevent that particular class of bugs.)

But now of course, if I ever go on an interview again, I'd dredge up some funny bug. Just in case. :)
