This gets my vote!

I've always felt a little silly to have "REST" included in my resume because too many job descriptions mentioned it as a requirement. Once during an interview, I couldn't resist to challenge the interviewer asking me about "RESTful APIs" that I had built in the past, and I explained pretty much the same thing to him. Thankfully, he was quite open to admit that what most people are doing is not REST.

There's something in this story that doesn't ring true.

You knew from the moment you walked into the laboratory that their data handling practices were inadequate and prone to being hacked/leaked. How?

You tried to explain this to their secretaries and nurses. Why bother when it's obvious they can't/won't do anything about it? Why not contacting their management or IT?
