The TechTalks had a few purposes. First, it was to spread knowledge within the company about what other groups were working on and how they were doing it. Second, it was for recruiting new developers. (If the talk went well internally, then

There was a job posting I applied for in 2005 that was asking for 5+ years of .Net experience. Since .Net came out in 2002, I assumed they meant 5+ years _development_ experience with some .Net as well. I made it to a phone screen with som

Number 2 seems most likely, so then the question is: Why would they lie? 2a. They're lying for political reasons. (This seems to be the most common explanation in this discussion and others.) 2b. They're lying to make the real hac
