I read this as "we were rejected but it worked out ok, so don't feel too discouraged if you have a bad interview"
Ok I like that, its just the term rejection has a common us versus them connotation in the US.
'Rejection' is just rejection. Sometimes it's personal, sometimes it's not.

Creator here. Sorry if that wasn't clear! I only meant this to be inspiring for people to "keep trying" even when they face rejection!
The site loads them in random order and I read about how someone was nervous during an interview and faults the interviewers and a few other more sour ones first. lol sorry.

I've lived in the US my whole life and I don't accept this connotation. 'Rejection' is just rejection. Sometimes it's personal, sometimes it's not.

lol most of them work for Twitter, which is no longer a start up. But yea I see that now, I just centered in on the more negative ones that loaded in first for me. I realize they are random now.
I think that's just because I work at Twitter so most of the early contributions were coworkers! :D
Being rejected a few times this week, this makes me feel a bit better. For one interview ... my brain decided to take the day off ... nerves I guess ... it was not pretty. Any who (sic) ... the show must go on ... back at it tomorrow morning wish me the best.
Also when your brain decided to shut down, just slow down, take a deep breath, and stop thinking about the overwhelming doubt growing in the back of your head. The interviewers won't fault you for that. Its kinda cheesy but I like Dune's matra "Fear is the mind killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration."
It's interesting how all these top companies insist on JS expertise, I didn't know that it was so important for an interview and that's something I need to work on.
It is sad that we still have to follow this broken process because of lack of any viable alternative.
Getting turned down always feels shitty, but I try hard to not take it personally. The whole you rejected me, but haha I'm better off comes across as pretty self-centered and entitled. -edit- removed question,more
How about thinking of those "hopeful young kids" before making statements about how hard it is to find tech talent? How many of those rejections came from said companies?

> Show some class guys, why not imagine what it takes to be the person that has to reject tons of hopeful young kids. How about thinking of those "hopeful young kids" before making statements about how hard it is to find tech talent? How many of those rejections came from said companies?
FYI I only read a few sours/entitled ones before making that statement. I'll edit it to make it less provocative.

If you have no JavaScript these days then largely you can forget job hunting. If you have awesome, expert, deep, deep JavaScript then firstly you might as well be a unicorn but secondly, you will get a job.
Good thing there's still going to be a future in non JavaScript web development. Bring on Web Assembly. Those who dislike what JS has become over the last 5-10 years will just use their own stuff and can finally just ignore JS completely.
I've switched to Dart, couldn't be happier. No more confusing JS bullshit :)
