It's weird - if logical to a degree - how some job interviews treat the interview like it's an exam on Programming Theory. Like.. why? lol.

"Have you heard of pubsub and do you know how JavaScript works in it?"
"Can you describe the Observer pattern with me and how it relates to pubsub?"
"Can you tell me why 'this' is tricky in JavaScript and all its forms?"
"Can you tell me how the Facade, Decorator and Strategy pattern work and how you would apply them?"

In retrospect, the interviewers were trying to play games on me and they were laughing too. That's what you get with devhouses. Like bro, I'm trying to get a job. This shit isn't funny.

Funny thing is, I passed all their tests and they didn't hire me because I didn't convince the CEO I were capable of the job. lol
