Well I have a job now that at least seems pretty stable, so hopefully it won't be an issue because I'll be here for a long while anyway, but yeah, being honest kind of seems like a losing game.

It's extremely hard for me to lie (or even do anything even remotely dishonest) during job interviews. I believe that omitting important details is still a lie, plus I think I have a mild form of autism that makes it so I have to be overly precise in my language which means that I get into really specific detail when it's really not called for (as I'm sure anyone who's read my longer HN comments has figured out).

I'd probably be better off if I just shut up more during interviews and let them assume things.
