What if I we start by writing an unambiguous specification and I walk you through the proof?

The pomposity of this post is ridiculous. I can't stand the, "I don't have time for you," type of thinking. It suggests that the author assumes they are smarter than the person they are interviewing. It elides the underlying complexities of every persons' lived experience and inner world. Does the author not realize that people are not dumb actors in their narrative? People are generally intelligent, creative, and highly adaptable.

All this post does is show how trivial some people treat the interview process. The real lesson here is that if you can learn to ask how high to jump when ordered to you can get anywhere.
