Interviewing is (ideally) quite a structured type of conversation, when is a job interview. A lot of people have to lock in pretty hard to deal with how unnatural it is, and they might not have the spare bandwidth to catch a joke.
Especially not someone from HR, they’re fucking troglodytes.

I completely agree with your first paragraph.
But TheFogan was probably not explaining UDP to an HR person in this scenario.

Oh I’ve seen some pretty bad interviewing, where HR is sent in with a question sheet and a box to tick for which key words the interviewee mentioned per question.
Obviously a red flag and useless method of interviewing, but it does happen frighteningly often. Especially where the IT team is so understaffed, they can’t spare the time to do interviews.

Well sure, but the context for my comment was the unnatural-ness of a structured job interview. If you’re just just pantsing it, such interviews follow a script, and that’s not how we normally talk to each other.
