Valve employees can't count to three, so you probably can't even view this post.

Maybe, but I'll see what Valve has to offer. Valve makes some of my favorite games of all time.

hell no, I turned down the former for the latter because
1. gaming is fun 2. aerospace pays less and 3. security clearance is a pain in the ass.

Pretty typical in job interviews. Every telco position I interviewed for I either was asked questions on how to do something or was straight up set up with networking equipment and was told to make them work during the interview.

It's quite uncouth to "test" a professional during an interview. I mean, I think I did fine, but like I'd rather not.

My meaning was not to ask in which language the interviewers asked TC to perform a coding demonstration, but rather to ask in which programming language TC had to code. But I do appreciate the deliberate misinterpretation of my post, for the action reveals the ambiguity present within the messages that I write. I've been studying up on English grammar as of late, and this gesture, as playful and teasing as it is, has been most helpful.

Whatever I wanted... they just wanted to see my thought process. They didn't even want to execute the code.

If I don't get this job, it kinda doesn't mean anything for me. But also if I get it I don't know if I'd even work there.

According to my wife, thats pretty normal for bigger dev studios. Its not about the code, its about how you work with people on the team and if your general skill set and process works well for them.

Id say if you and the interviewer(s) meshed well, you might have a good chance.
