I never said there was a right and wrong answer, I said some answers could bring to light that it isn't as a good a fit as everyone (you included) would like. Simplest example is tech stack. If it is COBOL job and you say you want to w

You are assuming the interviewer is looking at it in a black and white fashion. I was more pointing towards the more mundane goals. For instance in game development there are lots of roles including designing and developing. If I am hiring

Kawa fakes it. The JVM doesn't support it so if you use a normal function call you don't get tail recursion. You could avoid calling functions and instead do your own stuff but that doesn't change the fact that the JVM doesn&

While the phrasing seems to be insulting to the demographic that this site cares too, I don't think he is wrong fundamentally. Also note that he is specifically talking about programmers doing actual work, not consulting/discussin
