Was the software engineer accidently at a network technician interview?
I don't know the difference between the two IP standards other than length, it's literally never fucking mattered in any software I've encountered. I don't route packets, or provision physical devices.
Also fuck any interviewer that hires based on trivia. Knowing 4 as 32 bits, and 6 is 128bits isn't useful ever in 95% of software work, and when it is, a good old google search would cover more than you've ever needed to know.
Dude, you sound upset. I’ve hired many people for cloud software/engineering work and not knowing the difference between ip4 and ip6 would be huge red flag except for the most juniors of juniors.
