Could these be a second side to the story that maybe he didn’t interview well or some other reason?

It would probably sting less if they didn't ghost him. Not giving the benefit of the doubt to Microsoft on this.

from an earlier reddit comment,

> I'm sure there was a reason they decided to not hire me. Maybe I had a shitty attitude? I don't know. I'm not questioning that. But I think an email letting me know and some credit would be fair to expect.

So, his product is a good fit for Microsoft, but he is not. I hope that’s not the case.

It appears to be the fate of such package manager creators. The homebrew guy was also rejected (by Google).

The big companies often end up ghosting the guys they don't want to hire. A long time ago, I was an intern and got fully ghosted by Nvidia. It was very annoying but my life probably worked out better for it.

There's a big difference between ghosting and sending a mail informing you that the process has stopped.

I realize I'm missing some context here, but I can't see how your life would work out better from _not_ receiving a heads up that the process has ended.

I think maybe he means that he feels better off no longer being associated with a company that wouldn't give him the benefit of that letter.
