Interview question I got once - The Taj Mahal took 27 years to build, if you could work on something for 27 years what would you pick?

discuss

order

Well, 27 years and nearly unlimited money—I feel like the presence or absence of that would affect my answer quite a bit :-)

If you pay others to do the thing it's not you who's doing it btw.

A second Taj Mahal that is 10% bigger and more resplendent directly across from the original.

What does this refer to?

Nice obscure reference.

I guess it's going to sound offensive, but that question sounds like it was devised by someone rather talentless.

I've been working on my computer skills for over 30 years. And my guitar playing. My song writing. Hell, hundreds of other things. What else do you do with your life?

If my needs were taken care of then so many things. An operating system, a productionized AI and LiDAR powered drone/submersible to continuously map every inch of the earth and the oceans, a way to perfect safe total gene replacement etc.
