These are my favorite interviews. I can't just let the interviewers go when I sense some bullshit... I mean if you want to drill people on something it should be expected you know everything about it. No surprise I fail most interviews!

Like the CTO of a famous startup who didn't understand that the order of a multicolumn index has some importance. I died a few minutes later when he told me I should add an index on a boolean (whereas the queries didn't use it) because it would speed up the queries by 2. Best day of my life.
