  • There was a lot of fear mongering. Y2K is actually when I realized that I can’t believe everything on the news. They kept reporting on it as an imminent threat for long after it was known that the engineers had patched the issue, and chances of problems were very low. As far as the planes go, the big threat was from air traffic control shutting down, and having thousands of planes in the air with no way to track all of them and safely route them in for landings. Plus there were concerns about navigation. So there were definitely issue, just not fall out of the sky issues.






  • I moved a guy forward in an interview process once who had literally zero corporate experience at all. It was for a senior website engineer position, and the guy had somehow never had a job before in his life at like 45 years old. He played in a band for a while, and was a stay at home dad after that. I moved him forward because he was a really interesting guy, he seemed passionate about creating things, and his technical aptitude was passable and could be improved. He didn’t make it past the other stages of the interview process, but I was definitely ready to give him a chance.
