Hacker News Reader

He doesn't mean a recruitment interview but one about him for the Fog Creek blog.

Thanks for pointing that out, reading it, I nearly hyperventilated thinking : "if a guy of that caliber has to do interviews, I've no chance". Phew.

My thoughts were more along the lines of how does he get to rattle on with this level of detail about his history and style to an interviewer.

Again, why 'I'?

If the poster actually wanted to avoid that ambiguity, a better title would be "I was interviewed by the Fog Creek blog," or "Peteris Krumins' interview on the Fog Creek blog"

My first impression of the title was that somebody interviewed for a job at Fog Creek, but the process was so impersonal that he or she had to put "I" in quotes.

Presumably because the person who posted the link to the blog post was not the person who wrote the blog post, and did not want to be getting Ask Hacker News style questions directed at him in response.

Yes, this. I would like to change it but the edit button is disabled (?)

I thought perhaps they interviewed for a job over the internet, but got their dog to do it.
