It struck me as odd, too, but then I realized I didn't know the cultural background of interviewer or interviewee and maybe it was a welcome, completely normal question. It's useful to keep your own dispositions in mind when analyzing someone else's conversation.
- Keyframe 10y agoNot valid, since question comes preloaded with an assumption language designers start a lot earlier ("so late").
- jsmthrowaway 10y agoThat's a fair point. I hadn't looked at it that way.
- abiox 10y agomaybe. perhaps they're referring to his long career and curious about what motivated him at that point to pursue the project versus times previous.
- Keyframe 10y agoWhen you put it that way, could be that as well. Bad interviewer is bad, I guess.
