Someone who worked at Dropbox shared an anecdote. Guido received an email from some recruiter along the line "You seem to have great experience in Python. How many years of experience you have with Python?" To which he replied "All of it!". I am not sure if it is true story.

Haha, reminded me of a time when I had just quit from a company as head of engineering, and a couple of weeks later a new Jr. recruiter for said company sent me one of those generic emails telling me that she liked my LinkedIn profile, and how she would love to talk to me about an open developer position at the company.

I chuckled and forwarded the email to the then head of HR and CEO. I am good friends with both, and I knew they will take it with humor.

It is difficult to find good recruiters.

I heard a story about when he used to work at Google, he would get pulled into interviews where the candidate was brave enough to write “Python expert” on their resumé. There’s definitely no one better to grill someone on their Python skills than the guy who invented it!
