Firstly, this is a throwaway account.
Background: I’m a fresh graduate looking for a job into IT/Tech and got an interview for the role of Infrastructure Engineer. This is in an Asian country so the English has lots of error.
Interview: I asked the interviewer what are the main challenges for the role.
Interviewer: “iOS has constant patches for security etc. and thousands of users so do you think they can just do it?”
Me: confused what she meant by “just do it”. I asked “What do you mean by just do it?”
Interviewer: repeated what she said earlier word for word.
Me: still confused if she meant deployment? Coding? Planning? Decided to ask: “can you specify what do you mean by just do it?”
Interviewer: “This is a very simple question. There’s planning involving who does the coding and timeframe so on.” She started listing all these general project considerations in a condescending tone and continued with the tone after.
Am I just dumb for not understanding what she meant by just do it? It’s been bugging me as I knew what the answer was as it was all common sense but just couldn’t quite understand her question so wanted an outsiders POV.
