    I once had HR ask if I was familiar with G-I-T ( she spelled it out), for a moment, my only thought was “wtf is G-I-T”.

      I might be the dumb one in this one, but HR asked me if I know “design patterns”.

      “I mean, yes, I know some design patterns. Any specific?”

      “No, just if you are familiar with design patterns.”

      “I mean, there are builder, strategy, sigleton, factory etc. Is the question really not more specific?”

      “My paper just asks if the dev is familiar with design patterns.”

      “Ok. Yes.”

      One of my first interviews in Canada I was asked what a “zed-index” is and was like what? A what now?

        Whenever I hear someone say “zed”, it always throws me for a loop. I follow a Canadian streamer, and they use it in place of “zero” the letter “zee”.

          I’m not Canadian, but as a Brit I also say Zed instead of Zee but I’ve never heard someone say Zed instead of Zero. WTF.

            Oh, my bad. It was zed instead of the letter “zee”.

            It’s 3am, and I’m exhausted, about to head to bed.
