I was the person in the story and I'm pretty sure this person could! https://twitter.com/cyberomin/status/835888786462625792

I don't believe that either. It's such a specific question - I don't know if even Facebook or Google would ask such a question in their interviews.

This guy you just linked to has posted 11K tweets in the past; obviously an attention/status seeker. Also his follow-up tweet gave it away:

"So @Twitter I can now get the blue tick, yes?"

He almost didn't get any retweets before his 5 minutes of fame.

Wow people on HN can be so gullible.

Out of curiosity, what threshold of evidence would you accept that I provide to verify that I was indeed asked to write code at the US border?

I'm almost certainly not going to provide it, but I'm still curious if you're willing to elaborate.
