Be me.
Apply for job listing that requires Python experience.
/home/tootsweet/python_projects/python_genius.py
Called and invited to team interview.
Arrive dressed like perfect corporate cog, leather binder in hand.
"Do you know C#?"
Listing never mentioned C#.
Me: "No."
"We're switching from Python to C#."
Didn't get the job.

Later worked with former employees of $aforementioned_employer. They have a terrible habit of hiring in droves, only to lay off half their workforce every few years.

Hah Crytek did that to me circa 2015, C# role but then they changed their minds to C++ and told me "not to worry" 🤣
