I hear about job applications and interviews these days and they sound so daunting.

My first job as a developer in 2006 I sat with the lead developer, had a very comfortable chat about things I had built, things I was interested in both related to programming and otherwise. Conversation turned to math and algorithms a little bit. He stepped out and came back with an offer. Whole thing took maybe 45 minutes.

I honestly feel as far as interviews have gone, it did the best of honestly sizing me up as a person.
