The Interviewer's Existential Crisis
Oh. My. GOD. The absolute AUDACITY of using built-in functions during a coding interview! 💀 The interviewer's face is SCREAMING "I expected you to write a 17-line algorithm with three nested loops and discuss time complexity for 20 minutes, but you just... sorted the list and grabbed the first element?!" Honey, this is the programming equivalent of being asked to build a house from scratch and just calling a contractor instead. THE HORROR! 🔥

Technical interviews are the ultimate game of "say what you want, get what you don't." The interviewer wanted to see your algorithm skills, maybe a nice little loop with a comparison variable. Instead, they got two lines that leverage the language's built-in methods. Technically correct—the best kind of correct. The interviewer's face is the universal expression for "I should have been more specific with my requirements." This is why senior devs write tickets with 17 paragraphs of edge cases.

Tech interviews in a nutshell. Interviewer wants you to implement a sorting algorithm from scratch, probably expecting some elegant quicksort or merge sort with O(n log n) complexity. Meanwhile, you just use the built-in sort method that every sane developer would use in real life. The interviewer's face says it all – horrified that you'd dare use a practical solution instead of reinventing the wheel to prove you memorized algorithms from 1962. Pro tip: The built-in sort is optimized by people smarter than both of you. But good luck explaining that during the awkward silence that follows.
