I had a "spot interview" with a boutique consultancy in Columbus OH a couple years ago at OLF

They had a snippet of C++ code, and were giving-out mugs to anyone who could find "the" bug in the code

I'm not a dev, don't even play on on TV, but I really "came of age" writing C++ back in the 90s

I spotted the other bug in the function on the paper - the one the guy who had written and printed it out hadn't noticed he'd added

He asked me if I want to come work for them as a QA/debug engineer - which I politely declined (the money was good, but didn't want to relo to central OH (having just recently moved already))
