I'm one of four people I know of who fails interviews at a high enough rate that I could fail 20 in a row (and I believe I have). AFAICT, the only trait the four of us have in common is extreme nervousness in interviews.https://twitter.com/patio11/status/1058019605413748737 …

[raises hand] (I don't know that I get extremely nervous in interviews, but if you ask me something like "what's the toughest bug you ever encountered" I just draw a total blank.) (same phenomenon if you ask me to tell a joke, I simply won't be able to remember one on the spot)

I was at a party tonight and someone asked me what my favorite book was. Couldn't answer. They relaxed the constraint and asked about "a good book". Couldn't answer. They relaxed the constraint again and asked me about "any book, good or bad". Couldn't answer.

Based on the rate that I read books when I read a lot (from a young age into my late 20s), I must've read somewhere between 5k and 10k books in my life and I couldn't name a single book off the top of my head (I was able to think of one after maybe 2 minutes)
