it's a strawman that the only two available options are the mutually exclusive "grin and eat shit" one or alternatively a heated argument

i stand by what i said here down-votes be damned; judging by our brief interaction and your telling anecdote you come across as a smug disagreeable know-it-all and in their position i wouldn't have hired you -- there is after all the option to hire someone who both knows their stuff and doesn't come across the way you do

Oh Revolut's down are they? Let me tell you about an interview I did with them. Blah blah blah. Yeah, no thanks.

I would love if it all engineers were professional enough to avoid the personal criticisms and stick to the comp sci, which is far more interesting.

This is why I wrote:

  Technical discussions are incredibly likely to devolve into people discussions.

  No people discussion has ever worked it's way back into being about fixing the broken software.

I wouldn't dream of calling someone a smug disagreeable know-it-all.

I'm here for any discussion of the tradeoffs of balance v ledger, though.
