Well, in my opinion, any conversation on duck-typing should be moderated!

But wait a second. Didn't you write an article about that not too long ago? I remember reading it.

It's OK I'm getting used to it in the last two days...and I not even use words like a*se and d*ck...
Skipper: We'll fix it.
Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this?
Skipper: Grit, spit and a whole lotta duct tape.

Hmmm. My reply to this went straight to the queue.

Maybe the antispam is crossed that you drank all of its gin reserve.
It is a petty entity, I'd never be crossed for such a minor thing but stay away from the Whisky if you value your continued existence

I am so using that phrase next time I am interviewing someone.
Try Hovercraft for Android, voted "a game" by players.

Unless I'm employing someone to create strategies, they can keep their strategies at home -- that's as "aligned" as they need to be.

Just the sort of comment I'd expect from someone with misalignment all over their strategies!

I'm strategically unaligning myself from your comments.

Surely it doesn't matter if your strategies come from Ruby, .NET or Mars. If you can write clean, well designed and structured code that meets or exceeds the client's expectations, then it's irrelevant.
If I came across that statement from the "lead" tech for a job interview, I'd seriously question their credentials.

Quite simply it means nothing!
I have worked businesses where a number of people use business jargon and nothing else - apart from finding it highly irritating it quite simply is a means of obscuring their lack of knowledge in an area while trying to sound impressive.
Best practice - whatever gets the job done making future maintenance as straightforward as possible, in other words doing what you are paid to do.

Nope. He wants continuous, built-in testing.

May I translate:
We are the Borg. You will be assimilated. Your existence as you know it is over and you will adapt to service us. Resistance is futile.
Or even simpler:
We want to go sure that any crap we have produced, be it as unconventional as it wants, will be adopted by you as best practice.
If you have the option: Run as fast and as far you can.

"No, from Canada."

I do, but I also don't want to turn down what could be a lucrative contract. I'll have to do a bit of interviewing the interviewer myself.

Money is not everything. It really sounds like they declare all their grand ideas to be 'best practices' and the lucrative contract quickly becomes an endless drama. I have seen that before:
"It's a 'best practice' to do it that way."
"Certainly not. It's wrong, causes an error reported by the users and is generally considered to be an anti-pattern."
"Then it's a convention of ours!"
"You made a convention out of deliberately introducing bugs?"
Really, be careful. I have learned to fear the words 'best practice' or 'convention'. Often enough you should read those two as 'dogma'.

I think this statement is a preemptive strike from the the interviewer. What he really is trying to say is - If you try to outsmart me with your knowledge, i'll throw in a "this is not how its done in Ruby" trump card and save my ego.
