I thought that was meant to be a joke. At least I hope it was. It would get a good laugh from me in an interview.

And that would be good, too. I like to laugh with my co-workers. Especially the ones who have to maintain code that was originally written in Visual Studio 6, but somehow has survived to today. Because if you end up with a job like that, where you occasionally have to maintain something that long-lived, you'd better have a sense of humor to carry you through to the times that you get to innovate like crazy and make something nobody had ever thought of before. May we all get to work at jobs that have a healthy and responsible mix of those two activities.
