I was once hired for a C++ position _because_ I hated on C++ during the interview.

I think that c++ is an horrendous collection of disgusting hacks. I also work as a c++ developer. If I were hiring for a c++ Dev role I wouldn't hire someone who cannot point out several problems with c++, as the main difficulty of the job is to avoid those tar pits.

C++ is the exception. You can't be senior without despising all the intricacies of the language.

Linus Torvalds is perhaps the perfect depiction of this.

[jmalicki]

Linus Torvalds doesn't program in C++ at all, only C.

That's the joke, yes.

Feel like I have to share this hilarious fake interview with Stroustroup (creator of C++) here http://artlung.com/smorgasborg/Invention_of_Cplusplus.shtml
