As an aside, there's a lot of rightful complaining about the interview process. I've been on both sides and it sucks either way.
As a hiring manager for a small company, we never had the 'process' that bigger companies have, so it was always a seat of the pants decision. Not my favourite thing to do.
As an interviewee, I've struggled with people's favourite questions, you know the ones that you ask so much that it starts sounding like an easy question in your head?... I'm productive, I ship software but interviewing is so incredibly stressful and always makes me feel like I don't know much.
Anyhow, if I was interviewing the OP for a typical web app CRUD position or monolith to micro services refactor or some other common role, I'd think twice. Clearly he's very smart. Is he able to "deliver value" vs optimizing code? I know the post was tongue in cheek, but in the real interview setting you gotta demonstrate how you're a smart team player and allude to your capabilities. It's kinda like dating I guess. You can't show how much of a real person you're on the first date.
