The existence of posts like this really highlights the uselessness of "Guess the answer I'm looking for" interview questions. It turns them into "Did you take the trouble to scour the Internet for tech interview questions?"
That being said, if I ever have to interview another programmer who reads zero programming blogs or web sites... I am going to end it all and become a bike messenger.
I just had that interview. I called it "guess the word" because it was a vocabulary nightmare. "What makes a good program?" "Not crashing is a good start!" They were not impressed.
