You, chotner, and nilay patel (when he's in Deposition Nilay mode) are the three tech interviewers I trust to actually call bullshit when obvious

lol yeah as long as it's not Sundar Pichai

There's probably some physics rule like the Bernoulli Principle that can explain when Deposition Nilay shows up and an arxiv preprint about why sundar pichai is somehow immune to it

It's amazing how unprepared people are for a real interview.

Someone recently put it to me as, "He's intelligent - but it's a very narrow sort of intelligence." And I think that's the most generous possible take.

It's crazy because you'd think that "surviving an Ed Zitron interview" would be a feather in their cap.

But I guess the fear of what you'll surface is outweighing the prospect of looking tough for them. 🤷

While he's probably (maybe?) not on your target list, I think a chat with @mcuban.bsky.social would be interesting for the pod!

Also @garymarcus.bsky.social, clearly, if that hasn't happened already and I've missed it!

It's so wild how extremely unprepared the vast majority of people are for even vaguely thoughtful questions. Even guys like CoffeeZilla will ask an obvious question and leave crypto scammers reeling.

And let's be honest, most tech CEO's are just crypto fucks minus the gambling addiction.

This one is my personal fave. Dude just does everything possible to make himself look like a credulous dumbass and Chotiner's work is incredible to get him there
