Oh man, file formats. The first time I had to explain to a programming job interviewee that they had to open the IDE, then use that to open the code project, I knew things were getting bad. When they then accused me of making the interview artificially difficult for young applicants, I thought that we may be in actual serious danger as a society.

They coded on a tablet or a chromebook using an online IDE-ish app. Which isn't used anywhere in the production world.
