Initial and primary interview with Hiring Manager and technical team. As many of these technical interviews go, I was drilled by various technical team members around variable types, scope and development methodologies. Whats irritating is that I am not a textbook developer and I struggle with the terminology and development "patterns". But this is often only one component of a successful software developer and, as is in this case, greatly overemphasized. And these interviews get real uncomfortable, real fast, and it becomes obvious to me that I don't come from an academic background and I don't study the language in this way. Yet the interviewers persist. I suspect it is a cultural barrier where some groups fixate on terminology over everything else.
