How do you do, fellow web developers? A growing disconnect.

My two favorite interview answers I got a while ago:

- What is the complexity of this algorithm?
- Um, I see no complexity, it's quite straightforward.

And:
- On what protocol level ports are implemented? [asked in the middle of a talk about HTTP]
- Not sure, I think USB?

Those people were not joking, and I'm sure they also weren't dumb, but I still can't get used to the context gap that I have with many people with web development background.

'Christmas with the family? Be prepared for the heated debates.'

Yet another example of why we should put librarians in charge of everything. They understand real people and real life. They just go to work every day and try to make the world a better place.
