Reading comments first would have spoiled this wonderful practical joke.
Fortunately I read it some time ago uninitiated. Sure I was lured into seriousness for a while. Then this-can't-be-true of course set in.
I wouldn't want to have missed that experience. As any practical joke, it makes one think about the capability of ones skepticism. A capability worth keeping in good shape.
- uriel 17y agoThe sad thing is how many people get supper upset when somebody posts this somewhere, as if it was such an incredibly offensive joke, and as if you were spreading some really evil lies. If somebody does take this interview seriously, it says more about them and about C++ than about the nature of the interview or whoever posted it. And just because something is a hoax (and a rather obvious one at that) doesn't mean that it can't be filled with deep truths.
