That feeling when one of the interviewers just does not click.

Me: "I like what a former co-worker used to say. If you're going to do something more than once, write a script… and you're always going to do it more than once."

Interviewer: "Do you know about the shell 'history' command?"

Me, (thinking, I've been using Unix since 1983)…

"Yes"

(and you asked this because? How large is your history file???)

Do you ever have a situation where you wonder if you're both speaking the same language? That somehow, you hear the words, but they seem to have a different meaning for the person asking them, as if there's some code you're missing, some secret shorthand they're using, that you're just not getting?

Do some people leave things out in interview questions on purpose? Was this one of those people who tries to trip everyone up?
