A bit sideways from topic but; I got grilled by the head of the Euro fighter project (Ford management) on the importance of using arrays for everything. Don't do 'int a;' always create an array. I was dismissed half way through for not agreeing.
Even if I got an offer out of that interview, I would have turned it down. The head of the project making such a statement (in the absence of a good reason for the stance) is a big red warning flag.
