An acronym for "Bring Out The Squint". BOTS is usually the final step of an unsuccessful technical interview in the Bay Area in which the interviewee is ambushed by a Squint (a
chink, slant, chinee) who furnishes the interviewee with a set of extremely difficult and ultimately
irrelevant questions which are designed to prove the superiority of the interviewers intellect rather than screen for a suitable candidate for the
job.
BOTS (Silicon Valley Interview)
Squint: If you had fifteen
chickens and one had red feathers and the others had black feathers, what is the probability that I live with my
parents in Union
City?
Interviewee: Uh... 100 percent?
Squint: Elaborate.
Interviewee: Fuck you, I'm out of here.
