Semi-related, something that kind of irritates me is the usage of "as" in online newspapers headlines:
It's usually written in a way that might be suggesting a direct link between the two things to a layman, but often there's none, other than the fact those two things are happening around the same time."$Something-is-happening as $Something-else-is-happening"This can be disorienting when the reader is not familiar with the subject discussed, and lead them to wrong conclusions.

One correction about interviews: if the interviewee comes up with an overengineered solution without asking any questions, it's definitely a red flag.
In a good interview, the interviewee would ask clarifying questions; perhaps get told to build something simple that works; and then follow-up questions would expand towards bigger scale to test the breadth of knowledge and experience of the candidate.
The thing being evaluated is not blindly repeating random "best practices", but understanding and adapting to requirements.
I remember kkrieger being impressively small but also requiring insane compute :) it would render at like 0.1 fps on my poor machine. (Aligns with this comment: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14415567)
