>The first programmer with/without a shadow walks in. He's quite annoyed, because he was neck deep in jira or git or debugging some hairy stack-trace on eclipse, and he's been unceremoniously yanked off to interview YOU - the new dude, who has no fucking idea how things really work here. Well, he must show YOU your place. You lowly worm... Oh man, I hope I n ever come off that way when I'm the interviewer. I always try to give myself a good fifteen to twenty minutes to cool down before the interview and get prepared mentally. But I generally kind of look angry when I'm thinking and listening. Would it be helpful to explain to candidates that I have rbf?

I always try to give myself a good fifteen to twenty minutes to cool down before the interview and get prepared mentally. You're lucky you get a heads up. On more than one occasion I've had a manager come up to me and say "We're in the middle of interviewing a candidate right now in conference room X. Please come and ask a few questions and see what you think of him".
