npub1ced3sw6n2hehffgalr4re0e0u83t5l9raj3avyf6g5lu0v3fvn2sssvlf2 (npub1ced…vlf2) I started out in my career when job interviews were more like conversations where you shared interests and both sides could learn something (and maybe remember each other for future opportunities), so for example even if they had less historical knowledge they might be interested to know Java was developed by Lisp programmers (although more credit was given to Smalltalk because Lisp was maligned by the AI winter, how times have changed), and Javascript was influenced by Scheme. But sadly ever since Google I've found job interviews to be unimaginative, basically a series of quizzes that serve as a bureacratic checklist and a hazing ritual. It's up to you, read the room and then decide how much to give them what you think they want or be yourself. But of course, don't be obnoxious with your opinions, some people really do like PHP.
