    Suggesting examples are not the same as explaining and therefore the interviewee will not be hired and therefore it is not a deadlock

      Suggesting examples are not the same as explaining

      But the interviewee didnt suggest an example, they merely attempted to create a deadlock.

      However, in their attempt to do so they imply that they CAN explain a deadlock and therefore should get the job.

      The interviewer doesnt ask for an explanation, only if the interviewee is able to provide one.

        I have a feeling that you have to do better than “implying” you know something to land a job

            No, that’s Dreadnought. Deadlock is a Batman villain who is an expert in firearms.

              Not, you’re thinking of Deadshot. A deadlock is a Scottish body of water that has been polluted to the point that no life exists in the lake.

                No, you’re thinking of a dead lach. A deadlock is an anti folk music pioneer—not really dead yet though he claims to be dead inside.

                  No, you’re thinking of Lach who as far as I know is still alive. Deadlock is that cyborg guy from Marvel comics.

            Hmmm. I think you’re thinking of a dreadnaught. A deadlock is a magic using class in popular roleplaying games whose game powers are granted by a powerfu, but often manipulative, patron.

              That’s a warlock. Deadlock is the first frontman from AC/DC, before they got that Geordie fellow.

              No that’s a dead loch. A deadlock is the bond of matrimony between two individuals

          I read the post as “dreadlock” like three times in a row lol. I have been employed as a developer for many years and I don’t think I’ve ever heard of “deadlock” as a named concept until now. The more you know.

    The interviewer should ask him to explain livelock, and then leave the room.
