    Drag hates being asked that question. “Drag was stuck on a hard problem… And then drag figured it out?” Drag doesn’t know how to explain inspiration. Nobody does, not even philosophers or psychologists have managed to explain that moment of insight where suddenly it all makes sense.

      Don’t worry, referring to yourself in third person gives enough of an impression that what you answer probably matter all that much.

      These questions are filtering out those who aren’t prepared for interview questions, not those who aren’t good developers.

        Maybe drag could say…

        Usually when drag is stumped, the answer comes to drag three hours later on the toilet. So drag’s standard procedure is to exhaust all available options, find something else to do for three hours, and then take a shit.
