Another time I was asked in a job interview which languages I
knew. I'm not sure I'd have the bravado to give this answer today
but the guy doing the interview said it was my answer to this
question that got me the job. I said, "Well, I know all of them.
Once you've learned three or four, you know them all. Give me an
afternoon with a new language and I'll be able to produce working
code. Give me a week and i'll be fluent."

I think monster.com did a commercial years back where the
programmer got the job because he dreamed code. I think we all do
that.<br>

I want the guy who goes to sleep with a problem and wakes up with
the answer. Enters his shower with a problem dries off with an
answer. Goes to the gym with a problem walks out the gym with the
answer. My life :(. I said to my business partner many times
that I could spend 1 hour on the tread mill and come back with 3
hours worth of work.<br>
