Is a buccaneer how much a pirate pays for corn?

Arrrrghuably, that is so. Also, if there's a bad harvest the farmers will cutlass and that could result in the price doubloon.

Why would a pirate pay when he can pillage?

There may be a kernel of truth in that...

In a boring job interview:
Useless HR drone: "Where do you see yourself in five years?"
Laconic answer: "Not here."
Silly answer: "Back home on Beta Reticuli. They will probably not want me as a Stormtrooper anymore, but I always can earn a little programming Eludium Q-36 Explosive Space Modulators."
Delusional answer: "Where do I find the office of your boss?"
Everything is better than seriously answering such questions. Any better ideas?

In mirror universes you are not going to be happy unless you grow a beard and are at least lawful evil.

in your office because HR will be the next thing replaced by AI
... btw: also because HR requires the least amount of actual skills it's the easiest to automate
Edit: BTW: HR has no place in the interview process, companies that use HR for this never get the best people, rather they will only ever get the best bullshit artists.
this internet has become nothing but fake news.
... time to fix it, time to get back to the fax!

Sounds like the perfect process when hiring for a sales position then

So parsing a C# subset has lead me to all kinds of interesting questions
[System.AttributeUsage(System.AttributeTargets.All,true)]
class TestAttribute<T> : System.Attribute
{
}
does that work? (it doesn't)
why do I even ask?
because if it worked I'd have to look for
[Test<string>()] class Foo {}
and the like.
Don't get me started on the weirdities of array declarations.
When I was growin' up, I was the smartest kid I knew. Maybe that was just because I didn't know that many kids. All I know is now I feel the opposite.

This can be valid c#
public class var
{
async async async(async async) => await async;
}
|
|

|

yick. Fortunately, I don't have to support any of those keywords, but i need to check to see if my stuff will parse that.
Edit: The compiler chokes on the async specifiers

because async / await etc are new(ish) keywords there might be code out there which has types named "async", "await" so the C# compiler does context tests for new keywords - in the example I gave some are keywords, some are types (which I omitted)
|

Yeah but in this case, the compiler I'm using (c#7? VS2017) bombs on that statement you gave me.
I know about contextual keywords as I've parsed C# quite a bit, and LINQ and other language additions have forced it. I've watched the keyword list in C# grow over time, and some old keywords like __stackalloc finally given life in the latest incarnations of the language
But async will break in the context you used it. I'm not sure about C# compilers before it was a keyword
