INTERVIEWER: So I apologize if this question is too easy or is insulting, but you'd be amazed by how many supposedly senior developers can't answer it.
TACO: Okay.
INTERVIEWER: Can you tell me what a static variable is?
TACO: Yeah, that's when you rub two programs against each other and variables from one build up on the surface of the other one, right?
CRICKETS: Chirp! Chirp!

Then you put them against the wall and they stick like magic!
I always thought you had to rub them on your head first. Probably why I'm not a programmer. Don't understand these crazy things.
Maybe it landed after all. I have a call with the COO today, and the recruiter advised me to be thinking about the fact that I've had my current job for a long time, and to think about what it would mean to make a change, and whether I'm ready to do so. That sounds pretty promising.
So? how did round 2 go?
Pretty well, I think. It was supposed to go 30 minutes but went 45 instead. I liked pretty much everything I heard the guy say about what they're trying to accomplish here and how they're going to go about it.
Talked to the recruiter a little later, and she said the site manager's response to me was "full steam ahead," which I interpret to mean things are going well. She said they don't want to rush me, so she's going to let things sink in over the weekend, then call me Monday to schedule the next interview, which will probably be face to face.
I don't actually have a Fruit Fucker shirt. I've got a whole array of nearly as offensive shirts, though. Reckon I should get Wifezilla to give my proposed interview-ware the once over before I leave the house :)
