I'm sure I'm on somone's list of incompetent bozos for an interview that went like this: "Please, describe Python programming language." That's it. I had no idea what I was supposed to be doing, and the two fellows interviewing me would not elaborate.
I talked about what I had done with Python. Stony stares. Do
I talked about the nature of Python itself (interpreted, multi-paradigm, lexical/LEGB scope, the GIL). Stony stares.
I wrote some trivial programs on the board. Stony stares.
Had I brought an actual snake, I might have tried to charm it.
At the end, the CEO told me they weren't overwhelmingly sold on me, but would think about it. Never heard from them again.
