       | Very tangentially, the "Snakeoil Salesman" reminded me of a
       | candidate I once interviewed. For an hour and a half they showed
       | a dozen codebases cloned off github, explaining basically what
       | the README.md explained without actually saying anything of
       | substance, while using a lot of trendy buzzwords. Whenever we
       | tried to probe concrete details they'd immediately jump to
       | another project. It was the most infuriating interview I did by
       | far.
