This reminds of a true incident about Bill Joy. In the hot days of Java in 1999-2000, Bill Joy tried to get out of Sun and started looking for jobs as a Java developer in Bay area in California. An American project manager interviewed Bill Joy and asked him many questions on Java and Bill reasonably answered all most all questions. Then the project manager interviewed one H1B Visa holder from India. This guy also answered allmost all questions. The project manager couldn't decide which candidate to choose. Then he compared both the resumes. Bill Joy had stated , he has been working on Java since 1994. The Indian guy had been working on Java Since 1988. Guess who got the job. Bill Joy stayed back in Sun and always used to wonder how come he didn't get that job.
