heh - my final question in a months long panel interview for a position at google ~2007 Interviewer: "Quick, how to do a global search and replace in VI!" ME, blanking: "...I'd.... google it..." Interviewer: "best answer!" (wound up not getting job for not having a degree, and Sergey was still personally signing off on all hires, according to them... (after they told me they were sending me an offer in the morning)) Just having a memory for a sec - some other notable interview moments: Google: "What kind of company do you think Google is? (2007) Me: "People think you're a search engine, but youre really just an advertising company." And at twitter: "What kind of company do you think twitter is?" (~2011?) Me: "I think you are a global sentiment engine" (Didn't get the job allegedly because "I didnt read enough industry news" (seriously made what I read a big deal in the interview - and I fumbled trying to think of all the various things I read - this interview seemed to be looking for what physical publications I read, like DataCenter rags and such (I was a pretty successful datacenter design-team consultant at them time))
