Additionally, it's the hypocrisy of a global icon. There is a cinematic in the video game NBA2k that truly puts it into light [1]. James' production company helped write and produce it, they're his words.
This is great advice that took me quite a bit of time to learn as well.
Most of our meetings are held in a room with a whiteboard, and it has become standard to start by writing "GOAL: {{goal}}".
It prevents tangents, encourages us to use the scratching space so we can diagram the high-level components involved, and helps educate the folk who aren't up to speed (technical or business).
> The T42’s touchpad is hardly usable for productivity. Disappointingly, so is the iconic red nub.
I agree the touchpad leaves much to be desired, but I've found the nub to be fantastic. With one index finger on the nub, and two thumbs on the mouse buttons, my hands never leave the keyboard.
I understand your concern, but I agree with the advice whether just out of college or not. Interviewing is a skill just like any other, and if it has been more than a year since the last one, chances are you'll be rusty.
If a candidate is in the interview, there must be a modicum of interest, and is a great chance for the employer to sell it's position. And of course, as an interviewee, it is mutually beneficial to avoid wasting both parties time by expressing disinterest as soon as possible.
