The old fans didn't have the light dome, and the blades on the new fan were the same size as the old fan. I think it was the light dome that was freaking us out...

Seems legit to me. Didn't you hear the Twilight Zone sounds?

Exhaust fan?
Are you thinking of a turbo?
I doubt John has that.

I guess my comment blew right past you.

Turbos are gay.
If you're running boost, and it's all under the stock hood, you ain't doin' it right.

The old fan made a noise? You felt like Vinnie last night, couldn't sleep in the quiet.

I get it. I have tinnitus from years spent working in an old school computer room: an acre of mainframes, the old washing-machine style disk drives, and line printers, producing an incredible amount of noise. I have to sleep with a fan running or the ringing in my ears will keep me awake.

QA in video form
Not gonna lie, I had to do a "live coding challenge" as part of a remote interview once and googling syntax in one window while trying to continue typing in the code window to hide the fact that you're google in the background was pretty challenging....I'm sure they were onto me
|

A "live code challenge" should not preclude one from using google. I google pretty much everything before doing any coding. It's not "cheating" - it's "coding". There's simply TOO MUCH to learn nowadays, and there's no way a normal person can learn and retain it all. Expecting that is not only unreasonable, but is absurd as well.

Totes agree...
Plus, even if I already know how to do something, if it's been a while since I last did it, I Google it anyway just to see if there are any newer techniques being used, or better frameworks, etc.

Obviously I know that and you know that....but they got real suspicious if I stopped typing for even a few moments asking if I was ok. Typical interview BS that is more about jumping through hoops than the real world. The test involved using an ArrayList which is something I've literally never used because, well, why would you? It is a non-strongly-typed relic from before the days of generics. After I worked out what the heck it was and how you put things in and got things out I think they were testing how robust the code I was writing was, ie was I using "as" and "is" etc and not just assuming types and casts.

I would have probably started my answer with "Nobody in their right-f*ckin mind uses an ArrayList ."

Very possibly that was the desired answer.
|
|
|
|

Yeah, probably, but my "added syntactic sugar" in the form of the word "f*ckin" would probably have lost me the job. Ah well... opportunities missed, and all that.
THIS! IS! SPARTA!

I agree 100%.
I've often said that during an interview the interviewer can ask me one question about a technology that is obscure to me and very known to her and I'll look like an idiot. But, just as quickly, I could ask the interviewer about an obscure thing that I know tons about and make the interviewer look like an idiot.

I thought the ability to Google stuff was a pretty important quality for a developer, it shouldn't be frowned upon. Well, unless you Google "Send Codez Plz" that is
|
|
|
|
|
OK - so I googled "Send Codez Plz[^]".
Maybe I should have used Bing?
