		xnorswap on Oct 9, 2023 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Writing code with pencil and paper (2022) I had one a few weeks back like this. It was a strong signal I didn't want to work there. There were even stronger signals that followed. It was by far my worst interview ever, I haven't really gotten over it yet. It even caused me to sign up to glassdoor just so I could leave a negative review.

Had a couple like that, the relief from not ever having to work with those people lasted longer than the trauma from the interview. Look on the bright side, at least you didn't get the job!
