Not a programmer, but a sysadmin/devops. Once had an interview at about my 15-year mark as a Linux/Unix admin working for some household names. Punk kid interviewer asks me if I know how to add a user to a Linux server via command line and, if so, please take the marker and write the command on the whiteboard. Same kid asked me why I would choose Bash over the far superior zsh and other nonsense. Kid didn't, likely still doesn't, understand that methods don't often matter, results do. Needless to say, I didn't want the job working with people like him. I found a better job working for a government contractor doing more interesting stuff working for people who just wanted results, methods not even a consideration.
